I've been serving on board for 2.5 years now and have been holding the
|
||||||
|
title of President of the Foundation and Chairman of the board for the
|
||||||
|
current term. Fortunately the experience is not as painful as it used
|
||||||
|
to be, thanks to Stormy. I think we are in a very good shape on the
|
||||||
|
organization side, but there's a storm coming (no pun), with all the
|
||||||
|
GNOME 3 planning, messaging, marketing, etc. So I like to stay on board
|
||||||
|
to help with it all.

I am running for re-election for the board because I love GNOME, the

|
community, and free software. I also believe that I can help make the
|

|
GNOME foundation and community successful. I have done work with GNOME
|
||||||
|
accessibility and feel strongly that the community needs to further
|
||||||
|
outreach to meet the free desktop needs for all people, regardless of
|
||||||
|
income, location, gender, or level of ability.

I'm Diego, 21, from Lima - Perú. Some of you know me as a pesky bug

triager, others as an even peskier (is that even a word?) patch
|

submitter and others as a pesky almost spam mail source.
|
||||||
|
I've been doing GNOME related stuff since 2006 although I really got
|
||||||
|
more involved only in 2007, since then I've done code work for Epiphany
|
||||||
|
and other modules, mostly fixes or small features (I did woohoo bar for
|
||||||
|
Ephy! -firefox stole my idea, I swear). I'm deeply in love with GNOME as
|
||||||
|
a project and community :-).

Since December 2008 I've been serving in the Board replacing Jeff.

I've been part of the Foundation Board for almost 2 years now. My impression is

|
that the Foundation is gradually improving every year as an organization. GNOME
|

|
is in a very important moment now with a lot of important changes to come. I
|
||||||

think I can be very helpful on making sure Board supports the community in the
|
||||||
|
best way possible towards the GNOME 3 goals.

The GNOME Project has allowed me to take my first steps into the world
|
||||||
|
of collaborative projects and long nights of translation sprints. Due
|
||||||
|
to my open minded attitude, I have been able to get involved in many
|
||||||
|
different projects and work with a great number of interesting people.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
My passion is in the community aspect of these projects and how to
|
||||||
|
better integrate new comers and volunteers with the rest of the
|
||||||
|
community. I am also extremely interested in how we, the open source
|
||||||
|
community as a whole, can leverage this immense pool of ideas and
|
||||||
|
projects, and use it to the benefit of all.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
If elected to the board, I will bring in my experience of building
|
||||||
|
communities and guiding/enabling users to become more active in the
|
||||||
|
GNOME Project. After all, the GNOME Project IS about people! I will
|
||||||
|
also push to make accessibility a high priority for the project.

Hi, here I am, Vincent, 7 gnome-years old now. I'm running for the

Foundation Board this year, after thinking hard about it. I believe the

|
Foundation is doing great; it's certainly not perfect, but my feeling is
|

that things have improved in the past few years. Being on the Board is
|

the way I choose to make sure this goes on. Of course, I could pretend

I'm perfect and... wait, I'm not perfect?
