What makes you stand-out from the crowd?**

I *do* have an opinion, but I do not think this should be voiced publicly.

We are all good, support the community, have the same ideals when Ubuntu is concerned and are actually advocates of Ubuntu (Reason why we are active on Ubuntu)...

Nothing is different from me or any of the other members that contribute to AU on a daily basis, helping the community the best they can.

Prove yourself competent, and the voters will see your positives, not tohers' negatives.

That said, I think what makes me stand out from some of the candidates is my depth of experience with the site, though in many ways, I'm still a learner - like all of us - still plastic. I would humbly decline puffing myself up vs anyone else.

Living in the other side of the world to the current mod team. :)

There're candidates who've done a lot more than me on AU, but I can help faciliatate things like better migrations between sites - something I feel AU can do better. We hardly migrate anything
