Release Managers
There are four people who have thrown the hat in the ring: Ben Ramsey, Gabriel Caruso, Joe Ferguson, and Sara Golemon — with 4 people, we'll do ranked voting, so can vote four times, but make sure you select each candidate only once
Selection works as follows:
- In each counting round, the person with the least amount of votes gets eliminated.
- After round one, for the people that voted for that candidate, then the *second* preference is taken into account.
- After round two, for the people that voted for the eliminated candidate, then the *third* preference is taken into account.
- With two candidates eliminated, there are then two left who will become the PHP 8.0 released managers.
First Preference
Second Preference
Third Preference
Fourth Preference
