Call for nominations: Ubuntu Community Council Nominations are <a href="https://fridge.ubuntu.com/2024/08/26/call-for-nominations-ubuntu-community-council/" rel="nofollow">now open</a> for people interested in joining the <a href="https://ubuntu.com/community/governance/community-council" rel="nofollow">Ubuntu Community Council</a>, "the highest governance body of the Ubuntu project". Any https://ubuntu.com/community/membership can apply from now until Sunday, September 22 at 23:59 UTC. The Ubuntu project turned 20 this year, but is still in constant flux. The advent of new communication platforms, new projects under our umbrella, and the ever-growing popularity of the project requires our community to evolve. We need to make sure Ubuntu is set to tackle the challenges of the next 20 years. It needs a strong and active community council to guide the project forwards. See Merlijn Sebrechts's <a href="https://merlijn.sebrechts.be/blog/2024-02-17-ubuntu-community-council-year/" rel="nofollow">blog post</a>, "A year in the Ubuntu community council", for an overview of what it's like to serve on the council. https://lwn.net/Articles/987406/
