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.

their background in their initial email volunteering for the role, the =

why they=E2=80=99ll be awesome.

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.

The polls have closed, and Derick=E2=80=99s scripts have tallied the =
votes.[^1]

* Sergey Panteleev
* Pierrick Charron

Congratulations!

Thank you to all the candidates! I hope you=E2=80=99ll consider putting =
in your name for future release manager elections, and as always, PHP =
needs your help in many other ways, so please continue to volunteer and =
help out.

Sergey and Pierrick, I=E2=80=99ll be in touch with you soon to get you =
started on the first alpha release of 8.2, due out on 9 June.

Cheers,
Ben
