Re: PostgreSQL Europe 2026 Elections - Nominations Open

Hello,

Thanks everyone for participating in the nomination process, and for
nominating candidates.
The nomination phase is now closed.

I'd like to remind all nominees to send their platform for the upcoming
election not later than 24th February to elections(at)postgresql(dot)eu(dot)

Thank you,
Andreas Scherbaum, on behalf of the PostgreSQL Europe board
