Hello everyone,
Election Results
The results of the Steering Committee Election are:
- Stuart Mumford - 17 Votes
- Laura Hayes - 17 Votes
- Albert Y. Shih - 16 Votes
- Nabil Freij - 12 Votes
Therefore, Stuart Mumford, Laura Hayes and Albert Y. Shih are elected to the Steering Committee.
Next Steps
As this is the first election the steering committee must choose who serves a 1 year, 2 year and 3 year term. In addition to this they must decide who is going to take on the role as the lead developer (chair of the committee) and who is going to take on the role of the financial officer. These decisions will be made during their first meeting.
In addition to this the Steering Committee will take over from me in implementing the rest of the governance structure as described by the new SEP 2. Specifically the things remaining to do are:
- Ensure the Advisory Board becomes active again.
- Elect an Ombudsperson.
- Propose fixes to small issues in SEP 2 noticed during this first election.
Personal Note
Thanks to everyone involved in SunPy for your patience with this process, I am very gratified to have seen it this far. I am very happy to have been elected to the Steering Committee, but more over I am very happy to be able to share the responsibility for the project with two other lucky people.
Stuart
