Hi all, Well I said I would step forward if nominated, but at that time there was only two names for three seats. I guess I can't back out now after saying I would! My name is Clive Johnston and although I have only become active in the Kubuntu community in this past year and a half, I have been beta testing Kubuntu for a very long time. I frequented the IRC channels but using random nicks. I was more as a lurker to hear what was going on in Kubuntu land. Just before Jon's departure he encouraged me to start to learn how to package and with Philip's help I've continued that road. I've still a long way to go but I will try and help out if I have the skills to do so. I do recognise that Philip, Myriam and Valorie have lots more experience than I do, but I will honour my word and add my name into the vote. I would also like to thank Valorie for nominating me. With kind regards, Clive Johnston <div class="gmail_extra"> <div class="gmail_quote">On 20 Aug 2016 21:36, "Valorie Zimmerman" <<a href="mailto:valorie.zimmerman@gmail.com">valorie.zimmerman@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">On Wed, Aug 17, 2016 at 4:43 PM, Aaron Honeycutt <<a href="mailto:honeycuttaaron3@gmail.com">honeycuttaaron3@gmail.com</a>> wrote: > Dear community, > > The following members of the Kubuntu Council: > > - Philip Muskovac > - Valorie Zimmermann > - Myriam Schweingruber > > Memberships are expiring soon and as such we will start a nomination period > for new council members.

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).
