Ubuntu Technical Board Call For Nominations

[Torsten Franz]

Update for the nomination:

We had chosen a very short deadline for this one vacant seat and it was 
brought to our attention that a longer application period was desired.

This means: Nominations are still open and will close on Thursday, April 
7th, 2022, at 23:59 UTC

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

On behalf of the Community Council,
Torsten Franz
