Running for the Community Concil

The Letter

This is the letter I sent to the Community Council that summarizes why I am running for the Community Council:

I'm Milo Casagrande, from the Italian Ubuntu LoCo team, and I would
like to propose my candidacy for the Community Council elections.

My involvement in the Ubuntu community is mostly focused within the
Italian Community where I serve as a member of the Italian LoCo
Council since 2006, supervising the community and taking part in the
organization of events, and as the Team Leader of the Italian
translators team. I am a member of the Ubuntu Translators Coordinator
team, and of the Launchpad Translations Coordinators.

I'm also a GNOME Foundation Member where I contribute in the GNOME
Italian translation team, and in the GNOME Documentation team.

You can find more information about me at the following link:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/MiloCasagrande

I'm proposing my candidacy for the Community Council to bring my
various and broad experiences from different open source communities,
from a non native-English speaking LoCo Team and community, and also
from a corporate environment where I work and where we use Ubuntu and
free/open source software extensively, to the broader international
community.

With the hope that my candidacy will be taken into account.
Ciao.

Why

As already said in the presentation letter, I'm proposing myself in order to bring my experiences in working and collaborating in the Italian community, and within corporate environments where open source software is in use, to the broader international community.

I would also like to improvo the communication between the Community Council and the community: communication is everything in a decentralized and on-line community, and not all the people can be on-line or have a permanent presence on IRC.
