Dear Micheal, and Council

I am extremely excited about this possibility. I would be very interested
in working with you on bringing this initiative to reality, providing there
is quorum support from the Kubuntu Council for me to do so.

Kubuntu Council members would you be happy for me to proceed, with a view
to providing a summary plan of action, with time lines for review prior to
actioning ?

Best wishes
Rick Timmis
Kubuntu Councillor
