[QGIS-Developer] [Qgis-community-team] Call for nominations for new QGIS community voting members

[Borys Jurgiel]

For me it's perfectly fine if the PSC member calls for the nominations. 

I prefer the nominations to be public, for the reason Jorge mentioned: 
encouraging more people to make nominations.

But first of all, I'd organize voting for nominated candidates instead of just 
counting private nominations. I believe it would involve much 
more committers to vote.

Regards,
Borys
