Greetings,
For the TOF elections this half, we had 4 qualified individuals
nominated and there are 3 seats expiring. Therefore, we are going to
have to hold an election for the half.
Per the TOF election rules[1] (with minor date adjustments):
- The election will begin on Sept 3rd, 2025.
- The election will conclude on Sept 10th, 2025 (*).
- The election will be by Ranked Choice Voting of qualified OpenBMC
developers.
For refreshment, you are considered "qualified" if your Github user ID
is found at the rollcall[2].
The 4 nominated developers are (alphabetical by Github IDs):
* dkodihal: Deepak Kodihalli
* edtanous: Ed Tanous
* geissonator: Andrew Geissler
* manojkiraneda: ManojKiran Eda
I'll again say this is a Ranked Choice Voting. That means you should
ideally vote for at least 3 individuals, in the order of your
preference[3].
As with the last election, we have a tool to facilitate voting[4]. You are
expected to fork the Github repository, run the tool, commit the
resulting JSON file, and create a Pull-Request to submit your vote.
If you have the `gh` tool this would be as follows:
```
gh repo fork --clone openbmc/tof-election
cd tof-election
./vote --user <github-id>
# make your selections with 'vote N', 'save', 'quit'
git add 2025H2/votes/<github-id>.json
git commit -s -m "2025H2: <github-id>: add vote"
git push origin
gh pr create
```
If you don't use the `gh` tool hopefully you know the equivalent
git-commands / github webui operations.
Please reach out either by email or in #tsc-and-tof in Discord if you
have trouble voting.
(*) - Since the election rules do not specify a timezone for the
election, please submit your vote/PR by 23:59:59 Samoa Standard
Time (SST).
