Ubuntu Technical Board Call For Nominations

[Torsten Franz]

The Ubuntu Technical Board is responsible for the technical direction of 
Ubuntu. It makes decisions on package selection, packaging policy, 
installation systems and processes, kernel, X server, display 
management, library versions, and dependencies. The board works with 
relevant teams to establish a consensus on the right path to take, 
especially where diverse elements of Ubuntu cannot find consensus on 
shared components. At the moment there is one seat of the Technical 
Board vacant, which would have to be filled. This seat will be 
re-elected with the other Technical Board seats at the end of the year. 
The eligibility requirements are:

- Be an Ubuntu Core Developer
- Be available during typical meeting hours [see 
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/TechnicalBoardAgenda]
- Insight into the Ubuntu Development process, architecture, and 
technical culture

The Technical Board usually meets twice a month in IRC and has 
discussions on its mailing list. They are current Ubuntu Core Developers 
with a proven track record of activity in the community. They have shown 
themselves over time to be able to work well with others and display the 
positive aspects of the Ubuntu Code of Conduct. They should be people 
who can judge contribution quality without emotion while engaging in an 
interview/discussion that communicates interest, a welcoming atmosphere, 
and which is marked by humanity, gentleness, and kindness.

If this sounds like you or a person you know, please send your 
nominations to community-council AT lists.ubuntu.com.

Please include the name, Launchpad ID, and Ubuntu Wiki page for whom you 
are nominating, as well as a few lines about the nominee, so the 
Community Council can get an idea of why you/they would like to join the 
Board and why you/they would like to be considered. If you nominate 
someone else, please make sure that they are willing to accept the 
nomination.

Nominations are now open and will close on Wednesday, March 30th, 2022, 
at 23:59 UTC. After that, the Community Council will review the 
submissions, submit them to Mark Shuttleworth for shortlisting, and 
proceed with a vote by the Ubuntu Development team.

Please do not hesitate to share this post with anyone you think deserves 
to be on the Technical Board.

On behalf of the Community Council,
Torsten Franz
