PostgreSQL Europe 2016 Elections: Open for nominations

Hi!,

The 2016 elections for the board of directors of PostgreSQL Europe is now
entering its first active phase, nominations. Stepping down this year are
Guillaume Lelarge, Dave Page, and Andreas Scherbaum. All of them remain
eligible for re-election.

From today until January 26th, we are open for nominations for the three board
positions being elected this year. For a member to be a candidate in the
elections, he/she must be nominated by a current member and seconded by
another. It is possible to nominate yourself. There is no limit on the number
of people you can nominate.

If you wish to nominate somebody other than yourself, we suggest you contact
this person beforehand and ensure that he/she is willing to be elected.

To nominate somebody, send an email to pgeu-general(at)postgresql(dot)org with
the name of the person being nominated. To second a nomination, just reply to
this email and say so. Only one second is required for each nomination.

If you have been nominated and seconded, please send a short introduction about
yourself to elections(at)postgresql(dot)eu - this will be posted along with all
other introductions when the voting phase begins on February 2nd. If this
introduction has not been sent in by February 2nd, your candidacy will be
considered invalid and dropped from the elections. For this reason, make sure
you have received confirmation (by human) that this email has arrived, and if
it hasn't, contact any of the current board members to make sure you're not
getting incorrectly dropped. Please do *not* send this introduction to the
general list, just to elections(at)postgresql(dot)eu

Thank you,
Daniel, on behalf of the PostgreSQL Europe board
