Kubuntu Council Elections 2013 - Nominations Closed

[Scott Kitterman]

You did ask for a place to ask questions, which is quite reasonable.  I'm glad 
you're happy withe the mailing list Q&A.  You did also say though:

That's a rather more substantiative suggestion.  Also, a random draw doesn't 
really fit with the the Ubuntu Leadership CoC says about measuring support:

(yes, I know it doesn't fit word for word, since this is an election, not a 
delegation, but the principle applies - the Kubuntu Council can only be 
effective as long as the Kubuntu membership supports it).

Anyway, enough political theory, back to the campaign ...
