Hi,

Scott Kitterman recently announced his resignation from the Developer

Membership Board upon the identification of a replacement board member

[1]. This mail is a call for nominations.

The DMB is responsible for reviewing and approving new Ubuntu developers

[2], meeting for about an hour once a fortnight. Candidates should be

Ubuntu developers themselves, and should be well qualified to evaluate

prospective Ubuntu developers and decide when to entrust them with

developer privileges or to grant them Ubuntu membership status.

The new member will be chosen using Condorcet voting. Members of the

ubuntu-dev team in Launchpad will be eligible to vote. To ensure that

you receive a ballot in the initial mail, please add a visible email

address to your Launchpad profile (although there will be an opportunity

to receive a ballot after the vote has started if you do not wish to do

this).

The term of the replacement board member will be the remainder of

Scott's 2 year term, which at present is through March 1, 2017.

Providing at least two valid nominations are received, voting will

commence on Monday, June 29, 2015 and will last for approximately 14

days, ending on or around Monday, July 13th, 2015. The DMB will confirm

the appointments in its next meeting thereafter.

Please send PGP-signed nominations to developer-membership-board at

lists.ubuntu.com
