Hi all.

This is just a quick reminder that there's 1 week left for nominations.
I'd also like to suggest that any candidate that accepted the nomination, 
if planning to write a manifesto, start thinking about notifying the 
election team so we can update the election page - if you have access to 
the page, also freel free to do it yourself.
