Only two of the council seats are elected. The rest are appointed, and
some of those appointed only by specific Red Hat employees.
Thus, I don't think it's exactly the same opportunities to participate
in leadership.
I don't think that's a fair characterization. For example, the FESCo
representative is appointed by FESCo, which is 100% community-elected.
Breaking it down, three seats (FPL, FCAIC, FPgM) are positions for
specific Red Hat employees, two are directly elected by the community,
three represent community bodies (FESCo, Mindshare, D&I), and the
remainder are objective leads, which can be any contributor. So of the
8 permanent seats, five are directly or indirectly selected by the
community.
I'll remind folks that as of this writing, there are no nominated
candidates for the Council election[1].
