[Ubuntu-US-CA] Team Leadership Election Announcement!

[Elizabeth Krumbach]

Hi everyone,

The idea of elected leadership in Ubuntu California has been floated
by the team several times in the past, and this evening during our
meeting the LoCo Council formally requested that we move forward with
it.

The final question the team needs to discuss is whether we should
continue to have a single leader, or if we should have a team of three
leaders sharing responsiblity equally.

Can people weigh in with their thoughts?

As far as the election itself goes, the LoCo Council has requested
that we follow the following schedule so that team leaders will be
elected within 3 weeks:

Nominations will be collected for 2 weeks.

In order to nominate yourself, create a wiki page (your
wiki.ubuntu.com page will do fine! Just add an Ubuntu California
Leadership section) with information about you, your qualifications
(participate in events? other leadership experience?), why you wish to
be part of the team leadership, and the county you live in. Then mail
the LoCo Council (loco-council at lists.ubuntu.com) with your applcation.

Voting will take place on the 3rd week and be handled by sending your
vote to the LoCo Council (loco-council at lists.ubuntu.com). An
announcement including all the applicants with links to their wiki
pages will be made when voting starts with a reminder about how to
vote.

Anyone who is a member of the California LoCo can vote and can be
nominated. If you intend to nominate yourself, be sure you have signed
the Ubuntu Code of Conduct[0], if you need help doing this feel free
to ask on list or join us in #ubuntu-california on irc.freenode.net
and we'll help you out (I'd also be happy to help out if you want to
send me a direct email).

If you have any questions, feel free to discuss on list or email the
LoCo Council.

Note: Due to the issues which lead to the problems with the team, it
was requested by the council that that Grant Bowman, Mark Terranova,
Nathan Haines and Neal Busset be excluded from nominations this time.
