Where, incidentally, you can see the results from previous years as
well as the number of voters ;-)<br>

<div>Hi everyone, <br>
<br>
This is the final call for nominations for the
Linux Australia Council 2015. <br>
Nominations close on Wednesday 17th December. <br>
<br>
This email is also to advise that we are
altering the end date for voting to be Sunday
11th January 2015, to allow for scrutineering to
occur prior to announcement of results at the
AGM on Monday 12th January [1]. <br>
This still allows three and a half weeks for
voting, but as always feedback is warmly
welcomed. <br>
<br>
With kind regards, <br>
Kathy<br>

<pre>Hey all,
Just a note that nominations close in exactly 2 weeks!
There are still positions uncontested so if you know somebody interested
in being more involved or would like to be more involved yourself please
nominate soon (and yes, you can nominate yourself and it is encouraged).
If you have been nominated, please note that you must accept your
nomination before the 17th of Dec in order to run. If you intend on
standing for council the sooner the better :-)
Cheers,
Josh

<pre>Dear Linux Australia Community,
Pursuant to clause (15) of the Linux Australia constitution [1] we
hereby declare an election open and call for nominations to the Linux Australia
Council for the term January 2015 to January 2016.
All office bearer and ordinary committee member positions are open for
election.
* Nominations will open from 19 November until 17 December
* Voting will open 17 December until 13 January 2015
* Results will be announced at the AGM in Auckland at <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://linux.conf.au" target="_blank">linux.conf.au</a> on or
after 14 January
The election can be viewed here:
<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="https://www.linux.org.au/membership/index.php?page=view-election&id=21" target="_blank">https://www.linux.org.au/membership/index.php?page=view-election&id=21</a>
*What do I need to do?*
First of all, make sure your details are correct in MemberDB [2]
If you wish to nominate, identify the positions you wish to nominate for
and get an understanding of what they involve. Think about what you
might bring to the role and prepare a short pitch. Then, accept the
nomination you've been given by clicking the 'Accept nomination' link.
If you wish to nominate another person for a position, you may wish to
contact them first and have a chat to make sure they're happy being
nominated. Then follow the 'Nominate' link to nominate them.
Once voting is open, you will be able to vote for candidates. Results
will be announced at the AGM at <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://linux.conf.au" target="_blank">linux.conf.au</a>.
*Why should I nominate?*
Being a member of Linux Australia Council is a fun way to meet new
people, work on exciting projects and expand your skill base. It gives
you excellent transferable skills to help build your career, and allows
you to grow your professional network. It looks great on a CV, and is
also a chance to give back to the vibrant Linux and open source
ecosystem in Australia and globally. If you're passionate about Linux
and open source, it's a great opportunity to help drive and steer
Australia's contribution in this field.
The roles do require a time commitment - generally around 2-3 hours per
week - so please consider this with your nomination.

[2]<a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.linux.org.au/membership" target="_blank">http://www.linux.org.au/membership</a>
As always, your feedback and questions are warmly welcomed. If you'd
like to have a chat with anyone on Council around what it involves,
please do make contact.
With kind regards,
Kathy
