According to the process agreed upon last week, here comes the call
for NetBeans Board nominations:

**********************************************************************
Please submit your nomination for 2 community members of the NetBeans
Governance board, by sending e-mail with names to the
[email protected] alias, or to [email protected] e-mail
(unlike nbdiscuss does not require you to subscribe first)

The e-mail should contain a list of any number of names of people you
would like to be included in the list of nominees and included in the
voting.

The DEADLINE for nominations is Sunday, October 6, midnight in the
last timezone.
**********************************************************************

For reference, here is my original mail from nbdiscuss outlining the
nomination/voting process:

(I fixed the mistake in date of Call for Nominations, which was
 incorrectly stated as Sep/29; and mistake in planned dates for
 the poll banner)
 
 > Here is a proposal for how to continue the process:
 >
 > Sep/25-Sep/29: Time for objections to this plan, and
 >   sending an appeal to the NetBeans Board in such case
 > Sep/30-Oct/6: One week for finalizing the nominees list
 > Oct/7-Oct/20: Formal 2-week voting period.
 >
 > The call for nominations will be performed by:
 > - sending announcement to nbannounce, nbusers, nbdev and nbdiscuss
 >   aliases 2 times:
 >    - first day of the nomination period (Sep/30)
 >    - last call on Friday, Oct/4
 > - a "What's New" item on DevHome, IDE and Platform pages.
 >
 > The poll will be similar to the one performed for NetBeans
 > codenames, and will be promoted by:
 > - sending announcement to nbannounce, nbusers, nbdev and nbdiscuss
 >   aliases 3 times:
 >   - first day of the voting period (Oct/7)
 >   - at the start of the second week (Oct/14)
 >   - last call on Friday, Oct/18.
 > - a banner ad on all pages of netbeans.org (selective is not
 >   possible), will be up Oct/7-Oct/20
 > - a "What's New" item on DevHome, IDE and Platform pages.
