    From LWN.net@86:200/23 to All on Sat Aug 15 06:40:08 2026

    The Python Software Foundation (PSF) has announced
    the candidates
    running for the Python packaging council that was approved by the Python steering council
    in April.

    This inaugural election fills all five seats on the PPC. The two candidates receiving the highest number of votes shall be designated Cohort A with a two year term, and the three candidates receiving the next highest number of votes shall be designated Cohort B with a one year term.

    In future elections, each cohort will be elected for a full two-year term in alternating years, so that roughly half of the PPC turns over each cycle.

    There are 17 candidates running for the five open seats. PSF voting-eligible members must affirm
    their intention to vote in this election by August˙25. Voting begins on September˙1, and ends on September˙15.
