Re: Extended call for Ubuntu Technical Board candidates

Hello everyone!

Some of you might already know me, but just in case: my name is Łukasz
Zemczak - also known as 'sil2100' [1] - and I am an official Ubuntu
member since 2014. Day-to-day I work from Canonical, joined in 2011,
and since around 2014-ish I have been part of the Ubuntu Foundations
Team. Since then I have been involved in many things Ubuntu
(...previously also Ubuntu Touch, yay landing team!), eventually
becoming part of many Ubuntu-specific teams and roles, which currently
would be: a Ubuntu Release member, SRU team member, DMB member,
Archive Admin and, for now, the Technical Board. The competition is
really impressive, but regardless, I'd like to try my chances and run
for a re-election on the TB.
I don't really know how to do good introductions for things like this,
so I'll just say: I love Ubuntu and I love working with everyone
involved in it as a whole. If you have any questions, feel free to
reach out to me via e-mail, IRC or any other means.

Thank you and see you around!
