Hi all,

I would be happy to do the needful and coordinate this election. Will
definitely touch base with Lyz and get this ball rolling.

[Ubuntu-US-CA] Leadership election: Volunteer to coordinate needed

2013-12-01 Thread Elizabeth Krumbach Joseph
Hi everyone,

Every year we poll the community to elect a new trio of leaders, it's
that time of year again!

We need a volunteer (or more) who is able to coordinate this election.

Tasks involved:

1. Do a call for leadership nominations (here on the mailing list)
2. Collect nominations
3. Set up CIVS[0] poll for nominees and send out to members
4. Close poll and announce winners

I'm happy to help anyone through this process (don't worry if you
don't know what to write or have never heard of CIVS!). I just can't
do it myself because I intend to run again.

[Ubuntu-US-CA] Project Ideas

2013-12-01 Thread Grant Bowman
For those not yet aware, the loco-contacts email list enables all Local 
Communities (LoCos) to collaborate. Each loco team contact must subscribe and 
other Loco team members are encouraged to subscribe and participate. Below are 
some ideas for projects I thought members of our team might want to consider as 
well.

Cheers,

Grant

To follow this up further, Ms. Belkin is acting upon the discussion from 
vUDS-1311 about LoCo Projects.  LoCo Council has not formally considered this 
matter of creating a projects cookbook yet and has not formally discussed it 
with Canonical Community Team.  That is okay, though.

Svetlana is admirably taking the initiative.  I encourage cooperation to help 
her at least gauge interest.  Keeping replies on-list will help all of us learn 
as Points of Contact where we stand and allow for lateral 
community-to-community communication to take place.

Ohio will be willing to act as one pilot test for this simply because Svetlana 
is located here.  Who else would like to join in?
