<blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Since the wiki is broken I am unable to add this there. Board,<br>
please do this for me as you are required to as per the<br>
information currently on the wiki. For transparancy sake, I am<br>
including a copy to the general mailing list, and my own party's<br>
board, member council , international coordination and general<br>
mailing list.<br>
<br>
This candidature is valid for any and all board positions:<br>
co-chairperson, board member and alternate board member.<br>
<br>
-------<br>
<br>
*Name and nicks*:<br>
Patrick "Argure" Godschalk<br>
<br>
*Sponsor*:<br>
I'll let you know, I'm sure there are plenty of PP's that want to<br>
support this. You know, the ones that are actually still *Pirate*<br>
Parties.<br>
<br>
*Member of Pirate Party*:<br>
Piratenpartij (The Netherlands)<br>
<br>
*Qualifications*:<br>
- I'm very good at telling when someone is actively bullshitting<br>
this organisation.<br>
- I'm also very good at getting those people to stop doing that.<br>
- I'm Dutch, which means I'm always either drunk or high - and<br>
therefore good fun! This is obviously a lie.<br>
- I realise that I can just write whatever the bloody hell I want<br>
in here since most people won't even check these.<br>
- On that note, I have a PhD in creativology.<br>
- I'm not at all narcissistic or cynical. I do not know the<br>
meaning of sarcasm.<br>
- I will love you long time. ( ⊙‿⊙)<br>
<br>
*Languages*:<br>
C, Perl, zsh. I also do Python when I'm feeling masochistic. Oh,<br>
and I can say ARRRR really loud!<br>
<br>
*Motivation and political background*:<br>
See, this is where it gets interesting. I actually have a serious<br>
motivation for doing this, despite the cynical and somewhat<br>
humourous first paragraphs here. And that motivation is simple.<br>
It's an important one so let me place it on it's own line just so<br>
people read it better:<br>
<br>
You do NOT. Fucking. "Announce". A GA *TWO WEEKS* before it<br>
actually starts.<br>
<br>
I mean come on, this is some A+++ stand-up bullshit going on here<br>
that I expect from 'liberals', but not from a Pirate Party. Or at<br>
least, I don't want to expect this. So, my motivation for my<br>
candidature is simple.<br>
<br>
1. I refuse to acknowledge the validity of this GA in the<br>
interest of the member parties that are not the in-crowd of<br>
Gregory Engels.<br>
2. If this GA still happens, elect me to the board in whatever<br>
position and I will immediately move to declare this GA null and<br>
void.<br>
3. After which, I will immediately step down as board member<br>
because I have no actual interest in being one.<br>
<br>
If I am unable to declare the GA null and void, I will simply not<br>
do anything as a board member other than righteously 'abuse' this<br>
position to actually fucking *inform* the member parties of shit<br>
like this. And any other board member who in that case would have<br>
a problem with this can cordially go fuck themselves.<br>
<br>
And yes, in case it needs explaining, despite writing this on a<br>
cynical and highly frustrated note, - I am *dead serious* about<br>
this candidature with this specific motivation.<br>
<br>
*Contact info*:<br>
Argure on IRC. If you're wondering which network, I'm on pretty<br>
much most of them, just pick one at random. You can also mail me<br>
at <a href="mailto:patrick.godschalk@piratenpartij.nl">patrick.godschalk@piratenpartij.nl</a> but honestly, I read my<br>
mail maybe once a week at most.<br>
<br>
Oh, by the way, I will not be in Paris (ironically, due to not<br>
being able to afford tickets on such short notice).<br>
