The Steering Council elections.
(Not sending this out as a SC member, just as myself.)
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) https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-0013/, PEP 8103 (2022 Term steering council election) https://www.python.org/dev/peps/pep-8103/, and Ee's announcement https://discuss.python.org/t/steering-council-nominations-are-now-open-2022-term/11676 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,
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.

Thanks for the reminder, Thomas. Although I have nobody to nominate or consider myself to have the capacity and experience to self-nominate for SC, it is great to see that the incumbents desire to have a wide pool of applicants for the longevity of Python; rather than being on the SC indefinitely.
Best Regards,
