X-Identity-Key: id14 From: "M.-A. Lemburg" Subject: Python Core Developer Status Inquiry To: {{FullName}} <{{EMail}}> Openpgp: preference=signencrypt X-Enigmail-Draft-Status: N11100 Organization: Python Software Foundation (PSF) Message-ID: Date: Wed, 11 Nov 2020 21:47:55 +0100 User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:81.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/60.6 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252 Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable Dear {{FullName}}, we are about to have the yearly vote on the Python Steering Council and as part of PEP 13, we have to define the voter roll based on the active core developers: https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0013/ PEP 13 suggests that core developers who have not been active in the last two years may be asked to declare themselves as "inactive". The script which is used to build the voter roll for the election uses Github commits to determine whether a core developer was active or not. You can find the details and code in this private repo: https://github.com/python/voters You are receiving this email, because the script has determined that you have not issued a commit to the CPython repo in the last two years. Since we know that this approach is not perfect and there are other ways a core developer can contribute, we're sending this email to ask you whether you want to declare yourself inactive or not. Updating your status -------------------- There are three ways to respond in case you want to not be declared inactive and lose voting rights. 1. You edit the file python-core.toml in the repo (https://github.com/python/voters/blob/master/python-core.toml) and include a line inactive_reply =3D "stay active" # last updated 2020-11-xx or inactive_reply =3D "make inactive" # last updated 2020-11-xx in your [[core-dev]] section, depending on what you'd like to set as your status. 2. You reply to this email and ask to update the above file to the desired setting. 3. You don't do anything, which we will then interpret as meaning that you'd like to be declared inactive. We will wait two weeks, until Nov 25, to decide how to proceed. If you don't respond, we will add an entry to the above file listing the missing reply. Core developers who declare themselves inactive or don't reply will not receive a ballot for the upcoming election. Note that the status can be changed again for future elections, so things are not set in stone. Election timeline ----------------- As a reminder, here's the timeline for this year's election: * The nomination period will begin Nov 1, 2020 * Nomination period will end Nov 15, 2020 * Voting will begin Dec 1, 2020 * Voting will end Dec 15, 2020 Nominations are collected via https://discuss.python.org/.
