							|  |  |  | GNOME Foundation Board of Directors. A short summary statement from | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | each candidate and a link to their full candidacy announcement is | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | provided to help you learn more about them. We encourage all voters |

							|  |  |  | the various tasks the Board of Directors must perform. This overview |

											2001-03-13 00:30:33 +00:00

							|  |  |  | important decisions and will also have to perform many tasks which | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | require a significant amount of time and effort and the ability to | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | work and communicate with other people, companies, and the media. The | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | board of directors will represent GNOME to companies and the world in | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | a very real way. It is a good idea to strive for a well-balanced | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | board consisting of people with various backgrounds, skills, and | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | perspectives.</P> |
