Hello Kubuntu Council members, election candidates and fellow Kubuntu members,
I seem to have some difficulty in considering who to vote for (or, since we are having 4 candidates for 3 Kubuntu Council seats, who not to vote for), since all 4 candidates are well-established members in Ubuntu, Kubuntu and KDE communities. All 4 of them have been doing substantial tasks for Kubuntu. And I'm the newest Kubuntu Member. That makes the voting rather, erm, complicated. I have some sort of an idea: Should we hold some "election forum"? It can be either in IRC or Mumble. Each candidate introduces themselves, then gets asked questions by other Kubuntu Members and Users. This, I think, makes the election a more informed one. I don't mind if you all disagree, but I might have to consider drawing lots for voting :) I would like to invite all Kubuntu Members to consider this idea. Finally, a thank you to the 4 candidates who are running for this election, and I sincerely hope you can be elected to become the leaders of Kubuntu. Best wishes, Howard Chan (smartboyhw) Kubuntu Member P.S. Please CC me in every mail you sent, I am only subscribed to the Kubuntu Development Mailing List, not the Kubuntu Users Mailing List.
