 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.

what it's like to serve on the council.
