Wow! This is a milestone worth noting, and credit to a significant number of people who have quietly moved a mountain in the background to make it possible. Thank you!

Furthermore, I did nominate myself for the board, and my name does not show up. :) Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre Freenode: cyphermox, Jabber: mathieu...@gmail.com 4096R/65B58DA1 818A D123 0992 275B 23C2 CF89 C67B B4D6 65B5 8DA1 -- technical-board mailing list technical-board@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/technical-board

Is there a mistake? Yes, there is, and one I take full responsibility for. Luckily, you'll find him listed on the ballot, so all is well. > Separately, I remember someone (Laney?) asking for an opportunity to > question the candidates. Is there a plan for this please? Sadly, this was not communicated to the Community Council. Furthermore, even in my brief perusal of the Technical Board mailing list, there did not seem to be a clear decision on this. The nominations have been a long time in coming, so I didn't bother to delay it by asking further about it. That said, should we delay further? If so, how much time do we feel we need? -- @wxl | polka.bike C563 CAC5 8BE1 2F22 A49D 68F6 8B57 A48B C4F2 051A -- technical-board mailing list technical-board@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/technical-board

Is there a mistake? Huh? I'm not stepping down. I submitted my candidature.

FYI: switch of default Launchpad VCS to git
Now that we have experimental "git-ubuntu" git repositories available for most packages in main, we (the server/git-ubuntu team) will be switching the default VCS for the Launchpad "ubuntu" distribution over to git. This would mean that the git-ubuntu repositories would be visible directly at URLs such as: https://code.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/hello ...instead of seeing the out-of-date Bazaar repositories and having to click specifically on "View Git repositories" from there. However, please note that the git-ubuntu repositories are still experimental and we expect to "reimport the world" at least once before declaring the branches stable. When we do this, users will see non-fast-forward pushes to all branches. Despite this, we think that this is objectively better than the current situation since the git-ubuntu repositories, where present, are generally current, and this enables the ability for anyone to point to particlar parts of the Ubuntu source as well as investigate how it has changed. On behalf of the TB, Steve has agreed to make the change, so please take this as an FYI to expect this change soon.

Marc is in the poll. Is there a mistake? Separately, I remember someone (Laney?) asking for an opportunity to question the candidates. Is there a plan for this please?
