    <h1>Candidates for 2004 GNOME Foundation 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 election details can be found on the

    <h2>Candidates for the GNOME Foundation Board of Directors</h2>

    <p>1. Jonathan Blandford<br />
<p>
  I am a long-time member of the GNOME community, and an employee of Red
Hat, Inc.  I have been active on the Board for the past three years.  I
also have previously been on the release team, and am currently on the
sysadmin team.</p>
<p>
I am primarily interested in continuing to work with Tim and Jody to
ensure that our finances remain in good shape.  We've had a better year
financially, this past year, and I expect that we'll be able to continue
this trend.  We have made great strides in our ability as a foundation
to hold and fund conferences, and we should be able to do even more this
year.  I'd also like to make our budgeting more transparent and public.</p>

intltool, gnome-icon-theme, evolution-webcal, and the background
portion of control-center. I've also contributed code to most other
GNOME modules as well.

    </p>

    <p>8. Bill Haneman<br />
<p>IMO Board issues for the next year will include leveraging grassroots
GNOME support around the world, and facilitating use of the GNOME
"brand" while defending GNOME and Free Software.  Forging and
strengthening relationships is important too.

I work on GNOME software every day; as maintainer of multiple cvs
modules, and as an architect of the GNOME Accessibility Project.

    <p>10. Michael Meeks<br />
<p>At last count, Gnome was suffering from a lack of clear, well
articulated, technical leadership, with no mechanism for generating
technical consensus (particularly where this requires compromise).
This in general leads to directional atrophy, wasted effort, and
violence towards domestic pets.
	The board shouldn't provide this leadership, but can encourage it.
Furthermore it seems obvious that the Gnome environment should be
further strengthened by compromise, alignment & code-sharing with other
projects eg. Mozilla & OpenOffice.org.

    <p>11. Federico Mena-Quintero<br />
<p>My interest is in propagating the use of Gnome in Latin America:  help
local groups make the best use of Gnome and free software in general.
I want to ensure that Gnome has a clear direction from the viewpoint
of regional efforts:  that it can be integrated into local GNU/Linux
distributions easily, that it provides a good technology base for
custom setups, that it is easy for developers to learn, and that it is
adequately localized.

    </p>

    <p>12. David Neary<br />
<p>Even though I'm probably an unknown to most of the GNOME developers, I have been
around for quite a while, primarily in the GIMP project. Last year, I was
involved in organising GUADEC, and also brought the GIMP under the GNOME
Foundation umbrella, with help from Tim Ney and the current board. I'm more an
organiser than a coder, and I actually like doing board-type activities.

The board has a lot to offer to the community, especially in the realm of
communication and organisation - being on the board doesn't mean running
things, so much as letting other people know what needs running, and harnessing
that enthusiasm.

    </p>

    <p>13. Tim Ney<br />
<p>I nominate myself for a seat on the 2005 GNOME Foundation Board of
Directors: For the GNOME Foundation to fulfill its mission, it needs the
combined efforts of hackers and non-hackers alike. One of my main
contributions to GNOME has been to organize and raise funds for GUADEC,
the Summit and now other regional events in Brazil and Spain.  For GNOME
to scale to the widest geography of development, recognition and use, we
need to assemble more resources to help provide training accessible to
all.

<p>  I am French, long time Gnomer and Linux addict, maintainer of
libxml, libxslt and rpmfind. I served on the Gnome Board for three
years and I am used to non-profit organizations and the negociations
needed to reach consensus in a group. I will focuse on the reuse
of standards, internationalization and keeping trust relationship at an
individual level. I think those are needed to keep hacking on Gnome fun
and getting acceptance in new communities. Growing GNOME presence
worldwide in mindshare, users and developpers is the next challenge
of the Board.
