Hi All, Just to let you all know, I am not planning on running again. It was a lot of fun and very rewarding, but I am starting a new job and have other commitments this year. I hope this encourages you to put your name in if you haven't done so already. There are a lot of great members of this team - I got to meet a lot of them at SCALE - that would make great leaders. So, get your names in! -Jack <div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Sep 27, 2011 at 6:58 PM, David Wonderly <<a href="mailto:david.wonderly@kubuntu.org" target="_blank">david.wonderly@kubuntu.org</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Greetings and Salutations! It is that time of year again, this is where we all gather to elect new leaders for the Ubuntu California LoCo Team! [1] The roles and responsibilities of the Leaders can be found on our wiki page. [2] The way the election process will work is as follows. Nominations will be open from the receipt of the email till 1900 Pacific Time on 16 October, 2011. You can either self nominate (Recommended) or you can nominate someone else. PLEASE NOTE: If you nominate someone else PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE ensure that this person wishes to be nominated. The nominations are simple. Please add the relevant information onto the wiki page [3] and they will be nominated. Once the nominations are in, if there are any questions on someones wish to be nominated they will be addressed. Once those questions are addressed, assuming that there are more then three nominees, a poll will be created for the elections. The poll will be active for one week. At the end of the week the new leadership team will be announced. If you have any questions or concerns about this process please, feel free to ask me about them.
