[DRAFT] call for new board members

[Allison Randal]

I've drafted a recruiting message to send to ubuntu-devel. I set the 
date for contacting us as Sept 5th, partly so we can get the process 
rolling by Sept 13, but also partly so we have an idea how 
easy/difficult it will be to find new recruits when we talk to the CC on 
Sept 6th.

Let me know what you think. I'd like to send this out by this 
Wednesday, so people have a full week to think about it and volunteer.


===================================================
It's time for a recruiting round for the Application Review Board, as 
the terms of several of the original members will come to an end on Sept 
13th. If you're interested, please send a quick email to the team 
mailing list (app-review-board at lists.ubuntu.com) by Sept 5th, and we'll 
walk you through the details of signing up. You need to be an Ubuntu 
Developer to qualify, and will need an endorsement from at least one 
other Ubuntu Developer.

You'll find more details on what it means to be an ARB member and the 
process of adding new members to the team at:

Full disclosure: we're currently wading our way through a backlog of 
~200 package submissions from the recent wildly successful Ubuntu App 
Showdown. You can see the full list at:

There's substantial interest in automating as much of the review 
process as possible, so beyond general packaging skills and an interest 
in training new developers, ideal candidates would have some 
interest/experience in things like creating new lintian checks, 
generating apparmor profiles, or otherwise improving the tools to assist 
package reviews. Experience in MOTU, Core Dev, Archive Admin, Backports, 
DMB, or Debian Developer/Maintainer would be considered a plus, but not 
required.

Let us know if you have any questions,
Allison
