Your donations at work [Q2 2015]

I’ve just published the most recent Community Donations Report highlighting where donations made to the Ubuntu community have been used by members of that community to promote and improve Ubuntu. In this report I’ve included links to write-ups detailing how those funds were put to use.

Over the past two years these donations have allowed Ubuntu Members to travel and speak at events, host local events, accelerate development and testing, and much more. Thank you all who have donated to this fund. You can help us do more, by donating to the fund and helping spread the word about it, both to potential donors and potential beneficiaries.

Community Council election [2015]

[A]ll Ubuntu members are electing a new Community Council in the next two weeks. I started setting up the election in CIVS and will invite all eligible voters to it in a bit, so you all should receive an email about it.

If you are an Ubuntu member, please also make sure you check your spam folder. Just in case. If you don’t receive the mail soon, let me [Daniel Holbach, daniel.holbach@ubuntu.com] know and we’ll figure something out.

The vote will run until 2015-11-26 16:00 UTC.

More details on the process:
