Today, the Fedora Project begins the nomination period during which we accept nominations to the “steering bodies” of the following teams:
This period is open until Wednesday, 2025-11-26 at 23:59:59 UTC.
Candidates may self-nominate. If you nominate someone else, check with them first to ensure that they are willing to be nominated before submitting their name.
Nominees do not yet need to complete an interview. However, interviews are mandatory for all nominees. Nominees not having their interview ready by end of the Interview period (2025-12-03) will be disqualified and removed from the election. Nominees will submit questionnaire answers via a private Pagure issue after the nomination period closes on Wednesday, 2025-11-26. The F43 Election Wrangler (Justin Wheeler) will publish the interviews to the Community Blog before the start of the voting period on Friday, 2025-12-05.
The elected seats on FESCo are for a two-release term (approximately twelve months). For more information about FESCo, please visit the FESCo docs.
The full schedule of the elections is available on the Elections schedule. For more information about the elections, process see the Elections docs.
Hi @dylanross, thanks for your questions!
CLA+1, and the requirement of completing the interview during the interview phase from 2025-11-26 until 2025-12-03. Interviews are published on 2025-12-04.
Although it is too early for nominees to complete interviews, you can find the existing template on Pagure. It is also linked from the Wiki page:

Unfortunately, Pagure does not have the ability to make public links to the issue templates. It is in a separate, back-end git repository separate from the main repository. Hopefully Forgejo will make this better!
No. However, this is something being worked on and @jspaleta has a draft in-progress:
We always encourage people to engage with the interviews once published. Anyone can also reach out directly to a candidate too.
Yes and yes. This is also stated on the Fedora Wiki page:
