 Seriously People.  If you are a regular on the irc channel then now is
 the time to step forward and make yourself known.  This job involves
 getting info in form of emails etc and passing the info on to the
 group (Ubuntu-Uk)  to be voted on and discussed.  You are basically
 just a contact point for anyone and everyone.

 So Bravely step forward and volunteer for this most prominent role and
 enjoy the adulation you receive.


Hi Dave,

I would like to volunteer for the role. I have been looking for
opportunities to get more involved in the Ubuntu world and feel this
could be a great step forward. I have represented Ubuntu at a few events
this year and actively promote it to all persons I come into contact with.

My organisational and communication skills are excellent, stemming from
my experience running societies in University, managing my own video
projects and my current work as an Analyst / Developer / Deployer. I am
currently on an experience year working for LogicaCMG as part of my
studies (Computer Science at Manchester), therefore I have both the time
and inclination for this role. I am an active member on the mailing list
(especially the leaflets) and often make an appearance in the IRC room.

For a personal reference I would refer you to the previous volunteer
LoudMouthMan as we were fortunate enough to meet at PodCamp UK this
year, and to Alan Cox who I helped run a stall on Software Freedom Day
this year. As I am based in Central London I can also easily travel to
any events necessary for Ubuntu communication.

Thank you for considering me for the role, and I feel I should end on a
joke. What's orange and sounds like a parrot? A carrot!

Best Regards,

Matthew Larsen

Greetings David!

I've not been involved in the appointment of an individual to a
position within a loco group before, so I'm a little unsure about how
this works.

I wondered perhaps if it'd take the place of a poll where people could
register their interest, and where other members of the group could
then vote for their preference.

Personally, given my (short) experience of the individuals within the
team, I would like to register my own vote for Alan Pope as loco
contact. That is of course if Alan decides he'd like to do the job.

Should this be the preferred method of appointment, I'd quite happily
make a wiki page to allow members votes to be recorded.

Cheers

Chris

Chris the idea is that people put their own name forward and next
sunday there will be a meeting at 9pm on the irc channel to decide.

Would it be worth using the launchpad 'Poll' option, this has the added
benefit of better accessibility and the selectable option of hiding the
members vote.
