[Kubuntu-council] Kubuntu Council Elections 2019 - Call for Nominations

[Valorie Zimmerman]

Super to hear that Rik and Aaron will be standing again. Please feel free
to mention what you do in Kubuntu and what you plan for the next while

Rick Timmis, are you standing again, I hope?

I'm going to be very busy the next few week with preparing for and
attending Akademy. Is anyone available to run the vote? Rik and Aaron can't
do it, obviously! It would be great for someone new to step up.
