Call for nominations: Developer Membership Board

[Eric Desrochers]

Since we have not yet enough nominations and it was the same situation at
last election 2 years ago, I started to think about what can be changed in
our approach.

One thing that comes to my mind is what if the nomination were public ?
Right now it is private and only visible to the DMB team. It is only public
once the condorcet vote officially start.

Would it helps having more folks nominating themselves (ripple effect) if
they see someone they know give it a try ?
Would it make the nomination less intimidating for some individuals ?

Regards,
Eric
