Usually I would just dm one of the board member or post this in a private channel because it's a lower hurdle, but we want to increase our transparency so I'll post this here instead:

Hey, we need to fill out some forms for Google Summer of Code payments, those contain legally binding agreements and banking information. I forwarded the google email to foundation@nixos.org, if desired we can also schedule a call for this, shouldn't take more then ~30mins total. We have to do this before 13.05.2024. Can one of the board members ack' me that they will deal with this?

my two main comments:

1. I think 48 hours may not be enough for the community to gain meaningful involvement in this process on the Zulip, if that is the intention - people will need some time to get used to the platform and ruleset
2. setting a date for self-nominations seems to be putting the cart before the horse; it states that there is an inclination towards self-nomination (presumably informed by the Zulip discussions?), but then sets a date as if this has already been decided, and that seems in conflict

Will try to clarify but can also comment -

The comment about the next two days is just to clarify that we are now exploring a good amount of items and will plan to communicate the general process by then.

To touch more directly:

1. It's not expected to gain meaningful involvement in Zulip over the next 48 hours, rather just defining if/how we are using Zulip and communicating that.
2. It's not expected that the this sets a date for self nominations, rather that the process will make that clearer
