The following elections take place from October 2017 to December 2017:

• Council (two seats)

The elected positions cover Fedora's subprojects not under the engineering or outreach banners (Documentation, Translation, etc.), and the community at large. One specific responsibility is to represent the voice of individual contributors to the Fedora project. Each representative will also work on specific goals which she or he brings to the Council as highlighted during the election process.

See Council page for more details regarding Council goals and structure.

Council Elections Autumn 2017

Elections are held twice a year, in concert with the joint Fedora election cycle. One seat is selected at each election, and each position has a two-election (approximately one year) term. No person who currently holds another Council seat can be elected.

The following Council members finish their terms, and the seats are up for re-election:

• Robert Mayr (robyduck) - elected for F26/F27 period
• Justin W. Flory (jwf/jflory7) - Resignation from the Fedora Council

Mandate of elected nominees
Exceptionally the Fedora Council is accommodating two seats due to Justin's resignation from the Fedora Council. A nominee having the most number of votes is going to be elected for two development cycles. A nominee being on the second position is going to be elected for one development cycle only.

Eligible Voters
Voting eligibility is determined by a community member's Fedora Account System (FAS) memberships.
To vote for the Council you must have cla_done in FAS.

A set of questions for candidates has been prepared as Questionnaire. Answers to these questions will be published in Community Blog, at the first day of the "Voting" period.
