[Scott Kitterman]

The Kubuntu Council terms for David Wonderly, Harald Sitter, and Jonathan 
Thomas expire on 2013-05-20.  This is a call for nominations for the Kubuntu 
Council to elect three members.

The term will be for two years,  2013-05-21 to  2015-05-20.

As in the past, the election will be conducted using CIVS (Condorcet Internet 
Voting Service - http://www.cs.cornell.edu/andru/civs.html ).  The top three 
ranking vote recipients will be elected.

Eligibility:

All Kubuntu Members ( https://launchpad.net/~kubuntu-members/+members ) are 
eligible to be nominated and to vote.  If you have a public email address in 
launchpad, you need take no further action to receive your voting ballot.  If 
you do not have a public email address, please contact me offlist with the 
address you'd like your ballot sent to, otherwise you will be unable to vote.

Nominations:

All Kubuntu members are eligible.  The Kubuntu Council is intended to 
represent all of the Kubuntu community.  Applications from involved non-
developers are encouraged.  If you are nominating someone else, please confirm 
their willingness to serve before nominating them.  Nominations should be done 
in public via either kubuntu-users or kubuntu-devel mailing lists.  If there 
is some extraordinary reason that precludes that, contact me directly.

Commitment:

The Kubuntu Council is the leadership body of Kubuntu.  Members of the council 
are expected to be active in Kubuntu.  The Kubuntu Council has three primary 
roles:
 - Approve development plans for future Kubuntu releases
 - Approve Kubuntu membership applications
 - Resolve disputes within the Kubuntu project

The time commitment is not large.  Meetings are generally only once every 
several months and conducted via IRC.

Questions:

If there are questions, you can contact me (preferably) via this mailing list 
or (if really necessary) via direct mail.
