The membership terms for two members (Jeremy Bicha and Mathieu Trudel-Lapierre) have expired, and the terms of the remaining members (Eric Desrochers, Micah Gersten, Robie Basak, Simon Quigley and Ćukasz Zemczak) expire in May. Subsequently, this email is a call for nominations to fill their positions.
The DMB is responsible for reviewing and approving new Ubuntu developers [1]. Candidates must be Ubuntu core developers or MOTU, 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. Candidates must expect to be able to attend the majority of DMB meetings. Currently these take place on IRC, are scheduled on alternate Mondays with each meeting alternating between 1500 UTC and 1900 UTC, and last around an hour. The new members 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 new board members will be at least two years. Providing at least eight valid nominations are received, voting will commence on Thursday, February 13, 2020 and will last for approximately seven days, ending on or around Thursday, February 20, 2020. The DMB will confirm the appointments in its next meeting thereafter. Please send GPG-signed nominations to developer-membership-board at lists.ubuntu.com (which is a private mailing list accessible only by DMB members) by midnight UTC on Wednesday, February 12, 2020. If nominating a developer other than yourself, please confirm that the nominee is happy to sit on the board before emailing the DMB. Please consider writing a short statement on your wiki page if nominated so that others get a better idea of for whom they are voting. If you include a link to this wiki page in your nomination mail or a followup, the DMB will share it when the call for votes begins.
