Reminder: Call for Ubuntu Community Council Nominations

The Community Council is still looking for nominees for the upcoming election.

We will be filling all seven seats this term, with terms lasting two years. To be eligible, a nominee must be an Ubuntu Member. Ideally, they should have a vast understanding of the Ubuntu community, be well-organized, and be a natural leader.

The work of the Community Council, as it stands, is to uphold the Code of Conduct throughout the community, ensure that all the other leadership boards and council are running smoothly, and to ensure the general health of the community, including not only supporting contributors but also stepping in for dispute resolution, as needed.

Historically, there would be two meetings per month, so the nominee should be willing to commit, at minimum, to that particular time requirement. Additionally, as needs arise, other communication, most often by email, will happen. The input of the entire Council is essential for swift and appropriate actions to get enacted, so participation in these conversations should be expected.

To nominate someone (including yourself), send the name and Launchpad ID of the nominee to community-council [AT] lists.ubuntu.com. The nominations period has been extended and will now close on 6 October 2022 11:59 UTC.

Once the nominations are collected, Mark Shuttleworth will shortlist them and an actual election will take place, using the Condorcet Internet Voting Service. All Ubuntu Members are eligible to vote in this election.

If you have any other questions, feel free to post something in the Ubuntu Discourse #community-council category so all may benefit from the answer.

Thanks in advance to all that participate and for your desire to make Ubuntu better!
