[Internal][ELECTIONS] Request for nominations

[Alessandro Lai]

Hello everyone,

and sorry for the delay. This is the month where we should be holding a new cycle of elections, but instead I'm a little late, so I'll try to kickstart the process now.

We have those positions to fill which will be expired by the end of the month:

 - 1 secretary position, currently owned by Asmir Mustafic

 - 4 CC Larry Garfield, Matthew Weier O'Phinney, Woody Gilk, Matteo Beccati

 - 1 CC position, which was left vacant by Beau Simensen last year

Every one of the five which have an expiring term can express their intention to run again for election, as anyone else is welcome to throw their hat in the ring and help us out!

As always,

FAQ:

Q: Who can be nominated?

A: Anyone! The secretaries of the PHP-FIG are basically administrative clerks and community handlers. For more details, see https://www.php-fig.org/bylaws/mission-and-structure/#secretaries

The CC members of the PHP-FIG are basically the technical steering committee; citing the bylaw: https://www.php-fig.org/bylaws/mission-and-structure/#the-core-committee

Q: Who can nominate?

A: Citing the bylaw: "Candidates for Secretary or the Core Committee must be nominated/proposed by an existing Project Representative or FIG Secretary to be considered, and must publicly accept their nomination in order to be valid. Prospective candidates may seek nominations in any way they see fit."

Feel free to reach out to me, the other two secretaries (Asmir & Buster) or any other sitting PHP-FIG member to ask for a nomination or for further informations.

[Matteo Beccati]

Hi everybody,

I nominate for CC:

- Larry Garfield

- Matthew Weier O'Phinney


Cheers

I would like to nominate Vincent de Lau for the position of Secretary.

He proposed himself the last time, but stepped down from the nomination since he didn't want to contend my reelection; he said he's still up for the task, so I'm happy to have him running again!

He already presented himself: https://groups.google.com/g/php-fig/c/DhCaHFDb0w0/m/3COGmCVMAAAJ

[Vincent de Lau]

Hi Alessandro,

Thank you for nominating me, I gladly accept the nomination.

Hello everyone!
I would like to nominate another CC: Alessandro Chitolina: https://github.com/alekitto

For those who don't know him, he's a freelance Web Solution Architect, working with Decathlon, Switcho and many other companies. He's a PHP developer since 2009, and he does a lot of Open Source work:
 * Solido, a toolbox to build REST APIs in PHP: https://solid-o.github.io/docs/

 * messenger-extra, DBAL & MongoDB transports for Symfony Messenger: https://github.com/alekitto/messenger-extra

 * class-finder, a class-discovery utility inspired by Symfony finder: https://alekitto.github.io/class-finder/

I would also add that I forgot to put a deadline on the nominations. Normally they would span for two weeks, so up until yesterday, but since we still have to gather enough names to fill the spots, I will let them run for an additional week, so up until the 10th.

[Alessandro Chitolina]

Hi everyone,

I accept the nomination. Thank you very much Alessandro!

All the best,

Alessandro

[Alessandro Lai]

I'm nominating Matteo Beccati for re-election as CC member.

[Alessandro Lai]

I also nominate Woody Gilk for re-election as a CC member too.

[Woody Gilk]

Thank you, Alessandro. I accept.

Hi Alessandro,

thanks for the nomination. I've been pondering what to do in the past
couple of days and I think I made up my mind now.

Since we now have already 5 CC members running in the election, I've
decided to *not* accept the nomination in order to have mathematical
certainty that the new candidates will have their slot in the CC.

There will still be an election for term length, but I love the idea of
having fresh blood in the CC. Good luck everybody!


Cheers
