Technical Board Candidate Registration

[Chaim Kirby]

With the completion of the Django 3.x major release cycle and in accordance
with DEP-10

it is now time to collect candidates for the Django Technical Board.

According to DEP-10, "Any qualified person may register as a candidate; the
candidate registration form and roster of candidates SHALL be maintained by
the DSF Board, and candidates MUST provide evidence of their qualifications
as part of registration. The DSF Board MAY challenge and reject the
registration of candidates it believes do not meet the qualifications of
members of the Technical Board, or who it believes are registering in bad
faith."

To make this process as simple, but useful as possible, we are only
requiring you to enter your name, email, and a bio/evidence of
qualifications. There are optional fields for your Github, Twitter, and
website which can be useful for evaluating your qualifications.

Your email address will only be used by the DSF to contact you related to
the election and process and will not be shared publicly.

Registration for Candidates will end on April 27th, 2021 AoE.

Please register using this form .

If you have questions about the election please contact
foundat...@djangoproject.com.
