We are expanding to run two meetings to better accomodate our wide range of timezones. We require nominations for one position available for meetings at 9:00 UTC +-1hr and nominations for three positions available for meetings run at 1400 UTC.</div> <div><br></div><div>We have the following requirements for nominees:</div><div><br></div><div> - be an Ubuntu member</div><div> - be confident that you can judge contributions to various parts of our community</div><div> - be available during typical meeting times of the board in question</div> <div> - insight into the culture(s) and typical activities within a geographic region covered by the board is a plus</div><div><br></div><div>Those sitting on membership boards are people who are insightful. They are current Ubuntu Members 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 discern character and 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. Even when they must deny applications, they should do so in such a way that applicants walk away with a sense of hopefulness and a desire to return with a more complete application rather than feeling</div> <div>discouraged or hurt.</div><div><br></div><div>If you wish to nominate someone, or yourself, send an email to <a href="mailto:ubuntu-membership-board-asia-oceania@lists.ubuntu.com">ubuntu-membership-board-asia-oceania@lists.ubuntu.com</a>. Try to explain your nomination. All nominations will be forwarded to the Community Council who will make the final decision. Applications will close 1-NOV-2010. If you require help or advice speak to a memeber of the board or your friendly Community Council members.</div> <div><br></div>-Matthew Lye<div>Secretary for the Asia-Oceania RMB<br><br> Leadership is responsibility, not privilege, Action, not position, Guidance, not knowledge, and outcome, not disposition.<br><No trees were harmed during this transmission.
