Charlie has diligently been involved as a key contributor to Xubuntu over a span of several releases now. He has an in-depth understanding of the Xubuntu/Ubuntu community, the development process, and the goals/aspirations of the Xubuntu project. Although Charlie is not a developer, his work shepherding Xubuntu's bugs and helping out in #xubuntu has given Charlie a unique perspective and understanding of the weaknesses in our product as well as a more than just basic understanding of the technical details behind them. I also believe Charlie has demonstrated a high level of organization, patience, thoughtfulness, dedication and good interpersonal relations - all traits desirable in a project leader. Traditionally the Xubuntu project lead has been a developer. I think if we're capable of having a leader who isn't of the traditional developer background, it will speak to the continuing growth and maturity of the Xubuntu project. > I still intend to take care of the packaging and provide help to the > leader/council/anybody about technical matters as I've been doing for > several years, so potential candidates shouldn't be afraid of that.
