Hi,

as a long time kubuntu member and developer I now want to run for a position 
in the Kubuntu Council.
For those that don't know me, I've been a Kubuntu tester for a few years and 
developer since 2011 and have worked on mostly on our KDE SC packaging, 
release testing and user support.

In the future I want to work on providing even higher quality packages in less 
time and improve our relations with our users and various upstreams (both KDE 
and fellow distributions)

As part of the council I want to help with shaping the path kubuntu will take 
on the path to an even more awesome OS.

You can find a bit more history on me on my wiki page:

Thanks,
Philip Muskovac
