Just a reminder that the nomination period for the next SC ends today (AoE), so if you're intending to nominate (yourself or someone else), please get those posts in. (No need for a long post before the deadline, it can be expanded later.) We currently have the 4 incumbents, and nobody else, so please consider who you would like to see on the SC.

Because we're half-way through the nomination period, I want to remind people about the Steering Council elections, and the fact that you do not have to be a Core Developer to be nominated, just to nominate someone (including yourself). If you know someone who you think would be a good person to have on the Steering Council, Core Developer or not, talk to them. Offer to nominate them, if you're a Core Developer, or talk to a Core Developer to do it. 

For more information, see PEP 13 (Python Language Governance), PEP 8103 (2022 Term steering council election), and Ee's announcement on how to nominate.

We still have about a week left, and I know there's several people who are planning to nominate, so I'm not worried about the number of nominations... But I would personally like a good, sizable pool of candidates, because it's much better for the health and longevity of the SC model. (I will also be nominating myself, I just haven't gotten around to making the actual post yet.)

Electably-y'rs,
