Happy middle of the week, everyone!

We=E2=80=99ve had another great turn-out for PHP Release Manager =
selection this year.

In the role of =E2=80=9CVeteran=E2=80=9D release manager, Ben Ramsey[0] =
(that=E2=80=99s me!) has volunteered to mentor two rookies, so there =
will be two seats up for grabs. As I mentioned in an earlier message, =
Joe and I discussed that it might be a good practice to have one of the =
rookie RMs from the current release serve as the veteran for the next =
release. In this way, any new advances or changes to the process will be =
carried forward to the =E2=80=9Cnext generation=E2=80=9D much more =
smoothly. So, we=E2=80=99re going to give that a try and see how well it =
works.

For those two rookie seats, we=E2=80=99ve got seven eager candidates for =
your consideration [1-7]. Some of these included a statement about their =
background in their initial email volunteering for the role, the rest I =
encourage to reply to this thread providing some background on why =
they=E2=80=99ll be awesome.

Voting is now open on https://wiki.php.net/todo/php82 using =E2=80=9CSingl=
e Transferrable Vote=E2=80=9D (STV). Those who participated in prior =
elections will recognize the format; for the rest, the TL;DR is that it =
allows each voter to state their preference order by voting multiple =
times. There are seven polls on the wiki for your seven preferences, in =
descending order. Using some math that I=E2=80=99ll leave to =
Wikipedia[8] to explain, we=E2=80=99ll start with the 1st preference and =
gradually remove candidates with the fewest votes, transferring votes =
that had previously gone to them to their voter=E2=80=99s 2nd =
preference, and so on. Once two candidates have a quorum (Droop quota), =
those will be officially selected as our RMs. Derick Rethans has =
volunteered to proctor the tabulation of the votes since he still has =
scripts from last year.

As you consider each candidate, please bear in mind that this is a 3.5 =
year commitment and is a position of trust.

Thank you in advance for your consideration.

Your 8.1 Release Managers,
Ben Ramsey, Patrick Allaert, & Joe Watkins
