Ubuntu Community Council 2009 elections

September 22, 2009

If you are an Ubuntu member, you have properly just recently received a mail informing you that voting on the Ubuntu Community Council is now open, and will continue until Tuesday 6 October 2009 at 13:00 UTC.

If you are curious about who the candidates are, here is the list:

If you feel like voting (and are a Ubuntu member) you really should go over the list and see for your self who you think is best suited for a seat on the Community Council.

You have to assign each candidate a rank from one to twelve, with one being most prefered, twelve least. More info on the voting method here. See also http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Condorcet_method.

And no, you can’t vote for (or against) Mark. If you could, he wouldn’t be the sabdfl :)
