Since you want non-developer Members to apply, that gives me the courage to put my name in the hat. For those of you whom I have not met, I've been a Kubuntu Member since last October, and attended UDS-N in Orlando. While there, I met many of the developers on the team, and participated and learned as much as possible. I help out in #kubuntu, although I'm not very technically inclined. I help people find resources, though, and also write the Linux Grandma blog about my adventures in FOSS. This past month, I staffed a booth for the Washington State LoCo at Linuxfest Northwest, promoting Kubuntu and Ubuntu, along with the Ubuntu-Women project. I had my little netbook running Kubuntu 11.04 with the Netbook interface, and let people play with it. We had a larger screen at the booth with Unity. For the Oneiric cycle I hope to continue my on-going work, and also to help David out with docs a bit. If you elect me as a Councillor, I will do my best to do the research necessary, attend all meetings, and vote on the issues before the Council in a fair manner.
