Django: Hello from the new Steering Council; and a quick temporary voting process change

[NewsBot]

A new Django blog post/announcement has been posted!

Hello Django community! The Steering Council is officially in action and we want to give you a heads up on a change we're making for the short-term.

The process for formal Steering Council votes (documented in DEP 10) has not been working. It's our goal for the community to refresh Django's governance during the upcoming release cycle. In order to allow us to move forward now, and under supervision of the DSF Board, we are suspending use of the +1, 0, -1 public voting system in cases where a Steering Council consensus clearly exists. Instead, we will deliberate internally, summarize our opinions, and share that publicly (location and full details TBD).

We hope that this allows us to move faster on the smaller things we have in front of us currently. We appreciate all of your patience and look forward to what we all do together!

-- The Django Steering Council: Carlton, Emma, Frank, Lilly, and Tim
