Good news! This morning Clive Johnston messaged me that if I nominated
him, he would accept! So: I hereby nominated Clive Johnston to the
Kubuntu Council.

In addition, this afternoon Myriam said that if I nominated her, she
would run again. So: I hereby nominate Myriam Schweingruber to the
Kubuntu Council.

So it looks like we have an election going, with four nominees for three spaces.

Please introduce yourselves to the Kubuntu Members, Clive (clivejo)
and Myriam (Mamarock).

I didn't introduce myself before; I've been on the KC for awhile, and
do mostly user help, user docs, promotion, other writing, and general
management stuff for Kubuntu. In KDE, I'm on the Community Working
Group and Student Programs (GSoc, GCi, SoK).
