We have six folks who have been nominated for the new committee membership so far. If you have been thinking about nominating yourself or someone else now is a great time to boldly add names to the list at <https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/Help_talk:Toolforge/Toolforge_standards_committee#August_2024_committee_nominations>. Nominations will close at the end of day on 2024-08-26 anywhere on Earth.
