Thanks to the great work Jan Claeys Alan Pope and Efrain Valles have done in the Ubuntu LoCo Council, in April their term comes to an end. We’d like to thank them for their hard work in the Ubuntu community and continued contributions.
I’m writing this mail to ask for volunteers to step forward and nominate themselves or another willing person for this position.
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 Re Approval of teams, resolving issues within teams, approving LoCo team mailing list requests, and anything else that comes along.
