Hello Kubuntu community! Unfortunately, we overlooked that three (3) of our Kubuntu Council members are expiring shortly! It was only brought to our attention today (big heart felt apologies for that!).
The terms for the following Council members are due to expire on the 9th September 2017: Aaron Honeycutt Clay Weber Ovidiu-Florin Bogdan I hereby call for nominations for the Kubuntu Council to elect three (3) members and hope that Aaron Honeycutt, Clay Weber and Ovidiu-Florin Bogdan will continue to serve until we have the names of the new Council members. I will update the Kubuntu Calendar to reflect these new dates, and include deadlines for announcing the next election/call for nominations. The term is for two years, spanning 11th September 2017 to 11th September 2019. As in the past, the election will be conducted using CIVS (Condorcet Internet Voting Service) - http://www.cs.cornell.edu/andru/civs.html and the top three ranking vote recipients will be elected. Good stuff! *Schedule:* Nomination period: Now to the 4th September 2017 Ballot Preparation: 4th September to the next day Voting Period: 4th September to 11th September End Poll/Results Announced: 11th September New Term Begins: 11th September 2017 This schedule shortens all the timelines. Please nominate yourselves or others quickly, so we can get to voting quickly. Please mention what you would like to accomplish within the Kubuntu project (Why people should vote for you) *Eligibility:* All Kubuntu Members ( https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-members/+members ) are eligible to be nominated and to vote. If you have a public email address in Launchpad, you need take no further action to receive your voting ballot. If you do not have a public email address, please contact me off-list with the address you'd like your ballot sent to, otherwise you will be unable to vote. *Nominations:* All Kubuntu members are eligible. The Kubuntu Council is intended to represent all of the Kubuntu community. Applications from involved non-developers are encouraged. If you are nominating someone else, please confirm their willingness to serve before nominating them. Nominations should be done in public via either kubuntu-users or kubuntu-devel mailing lists. If there is some extraordinary reason that precludes that, contact me directly. *Commitment:* The Kubuntu Council is the leadership body of Kubuntu. Members of the council are expected to be active in the Kubuntu community/project. It has three primary roles: - Approve development plans for future Kubuntu releases - Approve Kubuntu membership applications - Resolve disputes within the Kubuntu project The time commitment is not large. Meetings are generally only once every several months and conducted via IRC. However, we do need the Kubuntu Council to lead the community, not sit back and only attend meetings. *Questions:* If there are questions, you can contact me (preferably) via this mailing list or (if really necessary) via direct mail. I can also be found on Freenode IRC in #kubuntu, #kubuntu-council or #kubuntu-devel, nickname: clivejo Many thanks to all and please remember "time is of the essence". Happy nominating and voting, Clive
