Election of non-Google ESC and CM members for 2026-2027

[Nasser Grainawi]

Hey everyone,

June is when we start these elections and it's June!

Now is the time for non-Google maintainers to volunteer for the Engineering Steering Committee (ESC) and for any active community members to volunteer for the Community Managers (CM).

If you would like to be a candidate for either committee (you can't do both - see the note in the CMs link above), please send your name to the CM mailing list [1] (CC'ed).

Candidate nominations are confidential until voting so please don't reply to this thread.
Candidate nomination submissions are expected between now and until June 12th.
After June 12th, we CMs will share the list of candidates with the maintainers so voting can start. Voting should then conclude by June 26th.

One usually nominates oneself, but if you'd like to nominate somebody else, please make sure that candidates are willing to be nominated; you should also add that person as CC in your mail.

Thanks and candidatures welcome (starts now)!

Sorry for not sharing an update with everyone on repo-discuss, but the nominations and voting were delayed due to a couple of personal trips over the past 6 weeks.

Voting has concluded now and here are the results:

Engineering Steering Committee (non-Google members):

- Luca Milanesio

- Saša Živkov

Community Manager:

- Nasser Grainawi

- Matthias Sohn

- Daniele Sassoli

If these names all look familiar, it's because they're all the same as the 2025-2026 members! That said, the Google ESC members are changing again as the Google Gerrit team has gone through a lot of changes in the past year. We'll announce those members and update the homepage once they're finalized.

Congratulations to everyone elected and thank you for your commitment in supporting the Gerrit community!

Nasser on behalf of the Gerrit Community Managers
