Re: [Ubuntu-US-CA] Leadership election: Volunteer to coordinate needed
If no one else is interested, I'm willing to help. I looked at CIVS and it doesn't look too hard to set up a pole. I can do a call for nominations here, but I have never done this before and don't really know what I'm doing. Would I have to host nominations on the web somewhere? That's not a problem, but a bit of a pain for me at the moment. If nothing else, I think I can at least create and manage the pole. I would need some more information on how to set up the pole and when it should close. It doesn't look like it would be too difficult, so I'm willing to give it a try if no one else is interested.

I just can't do it myself because I intend to run again.

So hopefully I'm not in consideration for any such role. But in any case, someone has volunteered to collect nominations, so keep an eye out for that email on this list soon. Following the nomination period, an online, secret ballot will be linked to and votes will be collected. So team members (not me) will be able to vote in a good, old-fashioned Condorcet vote. Also, do we have a booth at SCaLE this year? No thread hijacking! But the LoCo made plans to get in touch with the SCALE committee. It's been my experience, back when I was the one handling the SCALE booth, that they expect Ubuntu to be there and it shouldn't be a problem. The only thing I actually had to do was discuss favorable booth placement. I suspect there will be more about this on the list once there is something to report.
