Please submit your fully costed and independently verified election manifesto. I want to know what you are going to do if you should get a seat on the KC. ( Free stickers and alcohol are good to sway my vote! )
Joking aside, other members of the community would like to know bit more about the folks who represent us on the Council. Tell us a bit about what makes you tick, what you currently do in the community, plans for the future and why we should vote for you :) Clive On 29 August 2017 at 00:22, Aaron Honeycutt <[email protected]> wrote: > I'll stay on till then and put my hat in for another term. > > On Aug 28, 2017 7:20 PM, "Clive Johnston" <[email protected]> wrote: > >> Hello Kubuntu community! >> >> Unfortunately, we overlooked that three (3) of our Kubuntu Council >> members are expiring shortly!
