A little while ago Nick Ali stepped down from the LoCo Council. We were of course very sad to see this happen, and would like to thank Nick for his great work on the Council. However, we are now down one person, and need to find a new member. I'm writing this mail to ask for volunteers to step forward and nominate themselves or another willing person for this position. There is only one position available, so if more than one person steps forward, there will be a
vote to decide on the successful candidate.
The LoCo Council is defined on the wiki. We meet up once a month over IRC to go through items on the team agenda. This typically involves approving new LoCo teams, resolving issues within teams, approving LoCo team mailing list requests, and anything else that comes along.
The process by which a new member of the Council is selected is defined by the Community Council is outlined on the wiki.
The first stage is for people to nominate themselves, or be nominated by someone else. We will confirm with each person whether they actually want to be put forward or not. We will give ~2 weeks for this process. Please pass this mail back to your own LoCo team so everyone is aware of the process. We welcome nominations from anywhere in the world, and from any LoCo team. Nominees do not need to be a LoCo Team Leader to be nominated for this post. We are however looking for people who are active in their LoCo Team.
** Please send nominations to loco-council at lists.ubuntu.com which is a private mailing list only for the LoCo Council members. **
The above mailing list is moderated, however all nomination mails will be approved before the end of the nomination period
If you'd like to ask any of the LoCo Council members questions privately then you contact us individually or use the above mailing list address.
** The nomination process starts now, and ends at 00:01 UTC on 7th October 2009. **
Once this period is over the LoCo Council will collate the nominations and double check that each person nominated is still happy to stand. We will then pass this list to the CC as per the process.
