Hi folks, I'm throwing my hat into the ring.

http://wiki.ubuntu-women.org/LeadershipElectionProcess/2011/valorie.zimmerman

I haven't seen any other announcements, and don't know if I'm supposed

very relieved to see "expertise in wiki editing is not required to be
a leader"!

Come on in -- the water's fine!
