This concerns me, if one wishes to be on council, especially if one 
suggests he would like a very senior role, one would expect we would 
here a lot more bout how LA should promote Linux and OSS, and not 98% of 
pycon rubbish, there is more to the world than just that. I know it 
sounds harsh, but hey, Chris is the one wanting a position on council, 
he needs to make his case to cover all aspects not just his primary 
interests.
