<h1>Candidates for the GNOME Foundation 2013 Elections</h1>
<p>
Below you will find a list of candidates who are running for the
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
to read the full candidacy statements and related discussions on
<a href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/">foundation-list&#64;gnome&#46;org</a>.
</p>
<p>
When deciding who you should vote for, please carefully consider
the various tasks the Board of Directors must perform. This
<a href="../overview.html">overview</a> may be helpful. Keep in mind that
the board will make a number of 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>
<p>
Additional elections details can be found on the
<a href="http://foundation.gnome.org">GNOME Foundation Web Site</a>.

2013-05-08 08:41:26 +00:00
I am passionate about Free Software and GNOME and advancing it satisfies
me. I enjoyed the work during the last year and I hope to be able to
continue doing so. Within the last year I helped revamping our bylaws
and then got more and more involved in making our Friends of GNOME
program more smooth. This is still ongoing and I also initiated contact
with a European entity to collect funds for us to make us more
indepedent from Paypal. Being on the board makes finishing that a lot
easier.

Designer based in Gothenburg, Sweden, involved in

hopefully will be a 3rd time this summer.

I have decided this year to continue to increase my
participation in GNOME.  I joined GNOME in 1997,
working on GNOME Summaries that led to the GNOME
Journal.  We expanded from a one man contributor to
a full 4-5 person team writing professional level
articles on GNOME.

<blockquote>
I have experienced the difficulties that are
encountered by our local teams when organising
events and I agree with Joanie that the Foundation's
processes need to become more efficient. These
responsibilities need to be clarified and followed
to reduce friction and improve collaboration within
the GNOME community.
Our existing processes are missing defined fallbacks
and resolution paths. When decisions become stuck or
blocked on, opportunities fall through and the
Foundation loses out when its members cannot attend
conferences and hackfests.

I have been working on GNOME for the last five
years, as a developer of online-desktop and
gnome-shell and as a lead of our outreach efforts.
With the help of so many people in the community,
three and a half years ago I created the Outreach
Program for Women which enabled 49 women to do
internships with GNOME and significantly increased
participation of women in the community. This
program has grown to include internships with 18
Free Software organizations this summer.
