Thanks Daniel. I'll offer up a quick little summary of why I think I should be the team contact. I do mean quick though because I am off to catch a plane :-) I think I have shown from the beginning, even though it may not have always been well received, that I am very interested in the success of ubuntu-ca. During both lulls in activity I have stepped up to try to keep things moving. I also believe that I have chatted with almost every member of the group that has appeared in the IRC Chatroom. I hope that I have contributed to making Ubuntu-ca a friendly place for our members to come and contribute and/or seek help. I am not the most technically Linux literate member of our group but I think I have been able to use my experiences and other skills to start some of our own initiatives: the new web page, the HomeServerHowTo doc, the CD Insert and the LUG Presentation. I think the team contact role is another role within the team that I would be able to competently fill so I through my hat in the ring. If I don't get the team contact role then I will continue doing what I do today to help keep this group moving forward. I am having a great time contributing and learning through this group. A quick thank you as well to those that have helped with the projects I listed above! Hopefully we can drive those through to completion and start on some new and exciting projects.

According to the wiki (<a href="http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/CanadianLocoContactVote">http://www.ubuntulinux.org/wiki/CanadianLocoContactVote</a>), we have 2 candidates for the job of Team contact: Andrew VanSpronsen and Myles Braithwaite. It has been over a week since we have discussed this vote, so I cannot see anyone else putting their name forward for the job after all this time; but if someone else wants the job, please say so in the next few hours! So let's get this show on the road :) The voting rules have been on that wiki page for a very long time: * nominees do not vote * only members of the mailing list may vote * voting will be done via the mailing list during the voting window We haven't decided on a voting period. I suggest we vote next week, from June 6 (00:00 UTC) to June 12 in the evening (00:00 UTC). Since our rules state that it will done in public via the mailing list, I suggest the best way next week will be for us to send our votes to the list with a big "[VOTE]" in the subject line of our emails. Personally, before I cast my vote, I would really like to hear from both candidates why I should vote for you.
