New Kubuntu Council Members - including a familiar KFN name

[ronw]

Many will recognize at least one name:

"Following the departure of a few Kubuntu Council members Philip (yofel) launched a new election for people to fill the chairs left on the council. The results of that election are three brand new members! Welcome in myself (Aaron Honeycutt/ahoneybun), Ovidiu-Florin Bogdan(ovidiu-florin), Clay Weber(claydoh)"

Congratulations claydoh!

[GreyGeek]

Ya, Claydoh!

Calling it an election is a bit of a stretch, as it was basically a "walk in" nomination.

It's of course nice to have an active forum member in the council (and vice versa), even if the council is fairly meaningless by now.

The time for things being meaningless isn't quite here, yet.

Well, the council had a chance to be meaningful and show some leadership...and it caved in.

Anyway, none of it is your fault, and I truly wish you the best of luck, and perhaps you (all) can prove me wrong on the 'meaningless' remark.

btw, kitterman was my hero on the ubuntu-devel, sometimes it felt like he was the only sane person in there.

I was so glad to see that you were willing to go onto the Council. I am sure you will be able to make a positive contribution. I also hope that your contributions to this forum still come with this extra responsibility.

As I recall, Scott Kitterman played a key role in keeping Kubuntu 8.04 alive for quite some time for some of us (me, included).

Well, caving may be descriptive looking from the outside, but it may or may not be accurate.

scottk is cool. He is sane, in a Torvalds kind of way, imo

Point taken.

But it is fairly important how things look from the outside, especially if you are a "community council".
Hidden actions and agendas (even if ingenious) don't really cut it.

in a Torvalds kind of way, imo

Very well put.
