Unlike past years, the only requirement for nominating someone or accepting a nomination will be a free basic account on python.org. If you do not have an account, one can be created at https://www.python.org/accounts/signup/. For those that are interested, here's a screencast of how the new nomination process will work: https://youtu.be/sORneSQNOmc. Slack Channel "Open House" On May 20th, the PSF directors will host a 24-hour "open house". During this time, we welcome those that are considering running for the board and have questions.
