Steering Committee Nominations Update & Reminder

[Josh Berkus]

Kubernetes Devs:

Election update!

We have 13 candidates[1] who have been nominated to run for Steering
Committee, which is already a lot! But you have until October 14th to
nominate additional candidates, using the nomination process[2].

Contributors, now is also the time to check your eligibility by visiting
the elections app[3] and seeing if you are marked Eligible. If you are
not and should be, you can request an exception[4] in that app.

Candidates, you have through October 14th to submit your candidate
profiles[2] with a PR to the community repo. Please do this as soon as
you can.
