Kubuntu Council Elections 2022 - Call for nominations

[Valorie Zimmerman]

Hi all, my time to volunteer has been short, lately. I am willing to stand
for election if we do not have others step up. However, I think that those
who are more involved in running the project week to week should have the
vote when issues arise. What I do have to offer is a long time with the
team, which I guess I could call "institutional memory."

Thanks for running the election, Rik, and add my name only if needed to
fill out the slate.

Thanks,

Valorie
