Hi everyone, The idea of elected leadership in Ubuntu California has been floated by the team several times in the past, and this evening during our meeting the LoCo Council formally requested that we move forward with it.
The final question the team needs to discuss is whether we should continue to have a single leader, or if we should have a team of three leaders sharing responsiblity equally. Can people weigh in with their thoughts? As far as the election itself goes, the LoCo Council has requested that we follow the following schedule so that team leaders will be elected within 3 weeks: Nominations will be collected for 2 weeks. In order to nominate yourself, create a wiki page (your wiki.ubuntu.com page will do fine! Just add an Ubuntu California Leadership section) with information about you, your qualifications (participate in events? other leadership experience?), why you wish to be part of the team leadership, and the county you live in. Then mail the LoCo Council ([email protected]) with your applcation. Voting will take place on the 3rd week and be handled by sending your vote to the LoCo Council ([email protected]). An announcement including all the applicants with links to their wiki pages will be made when voting starts with a reminder about how to vote. Anyone who is a member of the California LoCo can vote and can be nominated. If you intend to nominate yourself, be sure you have signed the Ubuntu Code of Conduct[0], if you need help doing this feel free to ask on list or join us in #ubuntu-california on irc.freenode.net and we'll help you out (I'd also be happy to help out if you want to send me a direct email). If you have any questions, feel free to discuss on list or email the LoCo Council. Note: Due to the issues which lead to the problems with the team, it was requested by the council that that Grant Bowman, Mark Terranova, Nathan Haines and Neal Busset be excluded from nominations this time.
