Ubuntu IRCC Nominations 2016

[Neal Bussett]

Howdy all.

Just a reminder that less than a day remains to nominate someone
(including yourself) for the IRCC.

So far, the nominees are (in alphabetical order):
hggdh, Na3iL, rww, Tm_T, Unit193

The voting won't begin immediately, so you have a little time to put
together your wiki page and start kissing babies.  But the deadline
for nominations is here.

See the original message (quoted below) for complete details.

Regards,
Your IRCC
