Kubuntu Council Elections 2015 - Call for Nominations

[Valorie Zimmerman]

I have loved being on the Council for the past two years, and nominate
myself for another term. https://wiki.ubuntu.com/ValorieZimmerman

One of the useful things *everyone* can do, if you use IRC, is to hang
out in #kubuntu and help distressed users when you can. All of us have
some expertise; that is a great place to use it.

The Kubuntu-user list and Kubuntu-forums are also places where help is
needed; as well as the KDE and Ubuntu forums.

Also, if you are not yet a Kubuntu Member, please consider applying to
become a Member. Not only will you be able to vote for your Council,
but there are numerous other benefits. See
https://community.kde.org/Kubuntu/Membership for details. Make
yourself a wiki page and start collecting information there. Ask for
testimonials when you are ready to apply.

All the best,

Valorie

If you have a public email address in Launchpad, you need take no further action to receive your voting ballot.  If you do not have a public email address, please contact me offlist with the address you'd like your ballot sent to, otherwise you will be unable to vote.

If you are nominating someone else, please confirm their willingness to serve before nominating them.  Nominations should be done in public via either kubuntu-users or kubuntu-devel mailing lists.  If there is some extraordinary reason that precludes that, contact me directly.
