Nominations have opened for DrupalSouth Steering Committee

Staff Reporter

The Drupal community in Australia and New Zealand is seeking candidates for the DrupalSouth Steering Committee that will be appointed in November 2022 and May 2023. The call for candidates will close on 31^st August, 2022 and responses will be made public through the voting period.

Candidates must self-nominate as a candidate. If community members feel a particular person would make a great board member, they should encourage that individual to nominate themselves. The candidate can serve a 2 year initial term on the committee. The candidate can also sign up as a member of Linux Australia which acts as the governing body of the DrupalSouth Standing Sub Committee. This is free and has no obligations other than being a requirement to be a sub committee member. The candidate will have to attend a monthly conference call that will run for approximately one hour and undertake any follow up activities in their own time on a volunteer basis. It is also important to understand there is no financial compensation for committee members.

The committee is comprised of five members with a minimum of two women and two New Zealanders to ensure equal gender and geographic representation. The steering committee oversees activities like:

Providing continuity around governance and knowledge transfer.
Spreading the responsibilities of organising community initiatives across a wider group of volunteers in a more structured manner.
