Nominations for Hosting Team Reps 2022

This post kicks off the election process with nominations to replace the current Hosting Team Reps. Current Team Reps are @jadonn, @amykamala, @javiercasares and @Crixu.

The Role

In the WordPress open source project, each team has on average one or two representatives, abbreviated as reps. In the Hosting Team we usually have 2 reps for APAC-EMEA and 2 reps for EMEA-AMER.

It’s not called “team lead” for a reason. It’s an administrative role. While people elected as team reps will generally come from the pool of folks that people think of as experienced leaders, the team rep role is designed to change hands regularly.

This role has a time commitment attached to it. Not a huge amount, it’s at least two hours a week. Here are the main tasks:

– Post the agenda, host the chats, and summarize them.
– Keeping an eye on the moving parts of the team to be able to report for quarterly updates.

Full details on the Team Rep role is on the Team Update site.

How the election works

Please nominate people in the comments of this post. Self-nominations are welcome. The deadline is December 1st, 2021.

Once the nomination window is closed we will open a poll for voting. It will stay open for about two weeks. The new reps will start their role on January 1st, 2022.
