Extended call for Ubuntu Technical Board candidates

[Simon Quigley]

Hello,

My name is Simon Quigley, and I'm currently the Lubuntu Release Manager. 
I have been an Ubuntu Member since February 2016 (about a month before I 
turned 14 years old). I once held hats on the Ubuntu Membership Board, 
Ubuntu Developer Membership Board, Ubuntu Weekly Newsletter, Kubuntu 
Team, and a few others. In terms of upload rights, it looks like I 
became a MOTU at about August 2017, applying for Ubuntu Core Developer a 
year afterwards. Also worth noting, I have been a Debian Developer since 
November 2018.

I love Ubuntu, the community and development side, and would be honored 
to serve on the Ubuntu Technical Board.

Ask away!
