title: Nix Steering Committee Election 2024 | ||
date: 2024-09-16T00:00:00.000Z | ||
category: announcements | ||
--- | ||
|
||
As a first step towards a better governance for official Nix projects, | ||
we are happy to announce the kick-off of the [first Nix Steering Committee election][repo]! | ||
|
||
[repo]: https://github.com/NixOS/SC-election-2024 | ||
|
||
The Steering Committee will be the primary community leadership body, responsible for steering the official Nix projects -- | ||
organisationally, socially, and technically. | ||
This includes making decisions over what is official, managing teams, | ||
approving NixOS Foundation policies relevant for the community, | ||
being the final escalation point, and more as [detailed in the Nix Governance Constitution][constitution]. | ||
|
||
[constitution]: https://github.com/NixOS/nix-constitutional-assembly/blob/main/constitution.md#steering-committee | ||
|
||
While the Steering Committee is given the authority to make decisions within the scope of its responsibilities directly, | ||
it is expected to delegate as much as possible. | ||
|
||
Note that you can also read and publicly discuss this announcement [on Discourse][discourse]. | ||
|
||
[discourse]: https://discourse.nixos.org/t/nix-steering-committee-election-2024/52232 | ||
|
||

|
||
[Automatically eligible] voters will be sent an email and be added/invited to the [@NixOS/voters-2024][team] GitHub team. | ||
If you're on the GitHub team but have not received an email, make sure to [check and optionally update your email address][email]. | ||
|
||
If you're neither on the GitHub team nor have received an email, you're likely not automatically eligible. | ||
In this case you may consider [requesting an exception][exception]. | ||
|
