<P ALIGN=CENTER>Oct 26, 2000</P>
<P ALIGN=CENTER><BR><BR>
</P>
<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@gnome.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><B>CANDIDATES FOR THE GNOME FOUNDATION BOARD OF DIRECTORS</B>
</P>
<P>1. MARTIN BAULIG. &quot;I'm a 24 years old student and working for
SuSE on GNOME. * Gnome-libs 2.0 - it is very important to be
attractive to developers of other Free Software, to have
well-designed, well-documented APIs which are a pleasure to use. *
GNOME is official part of the GNU Project and it becomes more and
more important to know where we're coming from and to stick to our
roots. * Doing Talks and Shows in Germany.&quot; Affiliated with
SuSE. Full statement at
<A HREF="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/2000-October/msg00076.html">http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/2000-October/msg00076.html</A>.</P>
<P>2. CHEMA CELORIO. &quot;I have been doing unpaid work for GNOME on
a daily basis for the last year. Mainly in gedit and gnome-print. And
I LOVE IT ! I have developed very good personal relationships with
different members of the GNOME community. I want GNOME to remain a
community effort, a fun project to work on and a project that has
healthy relationships with the companies it interacts with. I want
GNOME to continue being widely open to new contributors.&quot; Full
statement at
<A HREF="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/2000-October/msg00056.html">http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/2000-October/msg00056.html</A>.</P>
<P>3. KENNETH CHRISTIANSEN. &quot;I will work on making Gnome work
better with internationalization, so that people in non-english
speaking countries can start using Gnome for real. This requires a
lot of work, and everyone in the Gnome community will have to settle
on some common guidelines for dealing with this. Due to my long
involvement in Gnome Translation Project I have quite some idea of
how we can do this, and is personally interested in working hard for
archieving this. No corporate affiliations!&quot; Full statement at
<A HREF="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/2000-October/msg00067.html">http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/2000-October/msg00067.html</A>.</P>
<P>4. RHETT CREIGHTON. &quot;I am a Jr. undergrad student at MIT, and
I'd like to see Gnome succeed, like all of you. If I win, I don't
promise to do a better job than most of you could do, but I do
promise to do it while eating a truckload of bananas. Really, I want
to use the position to impress chicks, I mean, help guide the
direction of Gnome toward what I think will make it the ideal
computing platform.&quot;. Full statement at
<A HREF="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/2000-October/msg00237.html">http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/2000-October/msg00237.html</A>.</P>
<P>5. BART DECREM. &quot;As the Foundation's coordinator, I have
helped build a structure that maintains the power in GNOME with the
hackers while providing ways for corporate partners to have their
voice heard. I see my role as a facilitator who ensures that the
foundation will function in an open and effective manner, and to help
bring corporate partners on board who will bring GNOME to many
millions of new users without violating our principles.&quot;
Affiliated with Eazel. Full statement at
<A HREF="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/2000-October/msg00047.html">http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/2000-October/msg00047.html</A>.</P>
<P>6. MIGUEL DE ICAZA. Co-founder of the GNOME project; one of the
principal contributors to gnome-libs, Bonobo, and Gnumeric, among
many other modules; currently serves on the board of directors of the
Free Software Foundation; pushed to create both the interim Steering
Committee and the GNOME Foundation: sees his role in the foundation
as &quot;to continue doing the same work I have been doing for free
software and GNOME in the future, with the backup of the Foundation.&quot;
Affiliated with Helix Code. Full statement at
<A HREF="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/2000-October/msg00194.html">http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/2000-October/msg00194.html</A>.</P>
<P>7. CHRISTOPHER GABRIEL. &quot;I'm a 22 years old fellow born in
Italy. * Completely dedicated to free software, following GNOME since
some times in the first few months. * No affiliation with any company
making money from GNOME. * Official maintainer of GNU packages. *
Largely responsible for much of the free software grass-roots
community effort in Italy. Having me on the board, you will have
someone who will remind other board members of the importance of
things.&quot; Full statement at
<A HREF="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/2000-October/msg00064.html">http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/2000-October/msg00064.html</A>.</P>
<P>8. JUANTOMAS GARCIA. Spent last three years promoting GNU/Linux
and free software in Spain, to companies and the Spanish government,
among others: &quot;GNOME needs more than code, it needs lots of
input and work on and over it... The board needs to have a real
criticism from the inside that's brave enough to point out whatever
is wrong with GNOME... I'm Spanish and European (and very proud of
it) and Europe needs more GNOME action indeed.&quot; Full statement

<P>9. JIM GETTYS. Co-wrote X Window System, upon which GNOME is
built; currently pushing Linux and X on handhelds. Experience with X
Consortium, W3C, IETF. Worked on the GNOME Foundation announcement
and startup this summer: &quot;In short, I'd really like to see open
source desktops succeed. Interoperability is a key to this, and
applications (both open source and commercial) are another. We MUST
avoid the GUI wars that crippled UNIX desktops in the 1980's to
change the world.&quot; Affiliated with Compaq. Full statement at

<P>10. BERTRAND GUIHENEUF. &quot;I am CEO of Henzai, Paris, a company
dedicated to making Gnome the standard GUI for small Internet
Appliances. I am co-maintainer of gnome-objc but was more known to
have started Evolution, in particular the camel library. My job at
Henzai gives me particular skills for project managment. Once on the
board I want to push the creation of the European foundation. I also
plan to lobby for a complete cross-platform Gnome.&quot; Affiliated
with Henzai. Full statement at

<P>11. THOMPSON HAYNER. &quot;I am an independent thinker. I make my
living charging high fees to companies to run web-based free software
for them (primarily Latin American hospitals). I invest half my money
primarily in underprized fiber optic companies, give myself an
allowance of $64,000 a year, and give the rest to various charities,
and do Random Acts of Kindness (for example, recently hired an
attorney to help a Vietnamenese girl I barely know fight to bring her
brother and sister over).&quot; Full statement at

<P>13. JAMES HENSTRIDGE. &quot;I am from Australia and have been
hacking on GNOME since 1998. I have worked on various parts of GNOME
ranging from some of the base libraries used by many applications to
language bindings (python) to applications (dia). I hope to represent
these views on the foundation board. I am a member of the current

<P>15. TUOMAS KUOSMANEN. &quot;I have been involved in the GNOME
community from the very beginning, working on the user interface. I
have very big interest in making the GNOME friendly and easy for both
new and experienced users. This is not easy, but I still want to
offer my help and try my best. I have good relationships towards
others and I try to live in peace with different kinds of people.

<P>17. ELLIOT LEE. &quot;You, the people who have made GNOME happen,
deserve the best possible help in getting GNOME where you want it to
go. Using my knowledge of software development and project
coordination, my goal will be to help you out with all the

<P>20. MICHAEL MEEKS. &quot;Having enjoyed working with many Gnome
contributors, I would be delighted to represent their interests on
the board. * Soon Bonobo ( which I help maintain ) will be everywhere
and vital to the Gnome release schedule, as well as to everyone
building on it. * I have loved presenting the ethics of free software
and selling the Gnome vision to many different groups of people at
various conferences. * I will push what is best for Gnome, over
HelixCode.&quot; Affiliated with Helix Code. Full statement at

produce the best desktop possible. (2)Identify and address GNOME's
weaknesses. (3)Improve communication with other projects,
corporations, and the public. After finishing my physics PhD I will

maintainers (meaning I've been hacking gnome since June 1998), Being
snatched up by Eazel, I moved from Denmark to USA, and therefore now

is to make sure the Linux development platform facilitates that. On
the board, I'd like to work on infrastructure to make the project run
more smoothly: bug tracking, roadmaps, task lists, communication
between maintainers. I want to see GNOME get bigger, better, and more
fun, always remaining focused on technical excellence.&quot;

<P>24. ETTORE PERAZZOLI. &quot;Who: Hacker, Project Manager for
Evolution. Other major contributions: gnome-libs, Bonobo, gnome-vfs,
Nautilus. Contributor since pre-1.0. * Program: Make GNOME a
successful standard without betraying the original ideals. Convey
energy from all the various parties involved, making sure the
commercial needs of the companies involved don't cripple the
technical qualities. Pay attention to the needs of hackers, to make
sure the fun factor isn't lost. Value volunteer contributions. Make
GNOME a success outside the US.&quot; Affiliated with Helix Code.

<P>25. BRUCE PERENS. &quot;Please read <A HREF="http://www.perens.com/Bio.html">http://www.perens.com/Bio.html</A>
and other material at www.Perens.com to learn who I am and how I have
helped Free Software since 1987 and Unix since 1981. The board should
leave GNOME's technical direction to the developers. As a GNOME
Foundation director, I plan to concentrate on: Soliciting for
government and corporate grants to fund Free Software development,
_especially_documentation_. Building relationships between business
and Free Software. Public Relations and Publicity. Getting people to
release more code!&quot; Full statement at

<P>26. LESLIE PROCTOR. &quot;I oversaw PR for the GNOME launch in
1999. My efforts resulted in NY Times, Wired, Newsweek, etc.
articles. I've conducted media relations for GNOME at subsequent
conferences and ongoing, as needed. I coordinated the FSF/GNOME
booths at every LinuxWorld Expo, among others - on a shoestring
budget. I'm a senior resource executive at Alexander Ogilvy PR, a
top-tier agency. I offer strategic direction to account teams across
three different agencies. I can bring PR, marketing and
conferences/events expertise.&quot; Full statement at

<P>27. FEDERICO MENA QUINTERO. Co-founder of the GNOME project;
maintained the GIMP, split off GTK+ from the GIMP for use in other
applications (including GNOME); wrote large portions of the GNOME
libraries (including the GNOME Canvas), the original GNOME Panel,
gnomecal, GMC; currently maintain parts of gnome-libs, gdk-pixbuf,
EOG, the GNOME Programming Guidelines, and the Evolution calendar; &quot;I
have given several GNOME-related talks at local and international
conferences.&quot;; &quot;I am neurotic about software and
documentation quality.&quot; Affiliated with Helix Code. Full

<P>28. ARIEL RIOS. Currently maintain gnome-guile, guile-gtk, galway,
glibwwww, gnumeric guile plugin; has given numerous speeches
advocating GNOME and Free Software in Canada, USA, and Mexico: &quot;I
am from Mexico so I can represent the Hispanoamerican region... I do
not work for any corporation and I wish to represent no other
interests besides GNOME and those of Free Software. I do believe in
freedom and equality among all of the members of the GNOME
community.&quot; Full statement at

<P>29. ARLO ROSE. &quot;I'm the Human Interface lead for the Nautilus
project, and am in the process of forming a GNOME HI group that will
raise community and developer awareness of usability and visual
issues with GNOME projects. I'd like to have a seat on the board so I
can strengthen awareness for good human interface design, raise the
standards for the GNOME desktop look and feel, and act as the voice
for usability issues in our community.&quot; Affiliated with Eazel.

<P>30. JOE SHAW. &quot;I have been involved in the GNOME community
from the start, contributing to several modules. I'm the maintainer
of Achtung and author of Helix's installer and updater. I'm outspoken
against corporate dominance of the foundation, but know they need to
be well-represented. I feel that the board needs a good
hacker/non-hacker mix. GNOME needs to become more aggressive with its
conference/show policies and GNOME 2.0 development needs to take hold
now.&quot; Affiliated with Helix Code. Full statement at

<P>31. MACIEJ STACHOWIAK. &quot;While I have hacked on many free
software projects (most notably Nautilus, see
<A HREF="http://advogato.org/person/mjs">http://advogato.org/person/mjs</A>
for others), I think the strongest qualifications I have are
non-technical. First, I have a talent for making processes more
transparent, as with my work on GNOME 1.4 coordiation. Second, I am
good at communicating both inside and outside the project. Finally, I
believe in free software, openness and honesty, and I'm willing to
stand up to anyone for these beliefs.&quot; Affiliated with Eazel.

<P>32. OWEN TAYLOR. &quot;As co-maintainer of GTK+ and the designer
of Pango, I think I'm in a good position to handle coordination of
GNOME with these important core technologies. I also have a strong
interest in language bindings and component technology, as
represented by the CORBA::ORBit Perl bindings for CORBA. If I am
elected to the board, I will continue to push GNOME in the areas of
internationalization and an easy-to-use development platform.&quot;

<P>33. DANIEL VEILLARD. &quot;I am French, a long time Gnomer and
Linux addict, the maintainer of libxml and rpmfind. I work for W3C
and I am used to non-profit organizations and the negociations needed
to get a group to reach consensus. 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.&quot; Affiliated with

<p>To run the vote counting scripts, you need to perform several
steps:</p>
<p>First, obtain copies of the <a
href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/vote/2000-November.txt.gz">ballot
archive</a> (referred to below as 2000-November.txt), the <a
href="registered-voters.txt">membership list</a>
(registered-voters.txt), and the two voting scripts, <a
href="list-addresses.py">list-addresses.py</a> and <a
href="vote-counter.py">vote-counter.py</a></p>
<p>Then, extract the valid voting addresses from the membership list:
<pre>$ python list-addresses.py registered-voters.txt &gt; addresses.txt</pre>
<p>Next, run the vote counter script; it's probably best to save the results to a file (they are long):
<pre>$ python vote-counter.py 2000-November.txt
&lt;cookie&gt; addresses.txt &gt; results.txt</pre>
<p>(The cookie has been lost.)</p>
<p>The results should be in results.txt. A list of errors will be
generated at the top of the output, but note that many of those errors
will represent problems which are fixed later in the archive
(manifested by the voter having a counted ballot later in the
results). The final tallies will be at the bottom.</p>
<p>To exactly replicate the posted results, you should apply this <a
href="vote-archives.diff">diff file</a>, which represents the
votetakers' changes to the voting archive to fix malformatted ballots to
reflect the evident intent of the voters.</p>

<H2>Candidates for Fall 2001 GNOME Foundation Elections</H2>
<P>Nov 10, 2001</P>
<P><BR></P>
</center>
<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@gnome.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 at the end of this
message and on <A HREF="/">http://foundation.gnome.org</A>

<P>1. JONATHAN BLANDFORD
&quot;
I have been involved with GNOME since 1997. I have spent a lot of time
working on many core parts of GNOME, and feel like I have a very good
idea of how the project works. I very interested in helping to improve
the desktop experience, I would like to see GNOME spend more time on the
small, incremental improvements that make a desktop usable.

<P>2. CHEMA CELORIO
&quot;
I have been contributing to GNOME over the past few years, I want to be
on the board because I want to help GNOME even further. I have a very
good relationship with a number of GNOME contributors as well as a very
good understanding of the GNOME community and what drives GNOME forward.
I am confident that we can make GNOME the best desktop available and I
work hard everyday to make it happen.

<P>6. NAT FRIEDMAN
&quot;
The foundation could be doing more to help GNOME be more unified,
move faster, and have more visibility. Things I would like to see
include more focus on the desktop itself, more in-person events
and a coordinated GNOME Office.
I've been contributing to GNOME since 1998 and co-maintained
Bonobo for a while. I wrote the first draft of the foundation's
charter. I co-founded Ximian, and these days, I'm in charge of our
product development. &quot;

<P>7. JIM GETTYS
&quot;
I'd like to continue to be on the board to help Gnome reach its potential.
I feel that we are about a year from having the ingredients to make open
source desktops viable for the mass market and would like to do what I
can to help make this happen. As part of this, I believe interoperability
is a key ingredient, and will work to encourage Gnome to invest in this
area.&quot;

<P>8. JODY GOLDBERG
&quot;
I have been a free software advocate since the early 90s, and have
contributed to several projects, from G++ and Wine, to Nethack and a
pager for CDE. As the current maintainer of Gnumeric I'm on the
front lines of what users like and dislike in GNOME. Our
technologies are good. Our integration could use some work. I'd
like to work towards improving communication between the far flung
elements of GNOME to improve that.

Accessibility Project (atk, at-spi), co-moderate

the 'Gnome Board hat' I would work hard to take a broad view of what's
best for Gnome. My hopes for Gnome's future include platform
development/maturation, universal accessibility, interoperability, and
extensibility.

&quot;
Lots of experience of Gnome both technically and relationally, I
continue to promote Gnome widely at conferences and to companies.
We must finance and encourage small interest group meetings as
well as GUADEC to increase real contact time.
We need to bifurcate the project - the core environment and
the applications built on top of it, so we can release core
improvements more quickly, with a stable API, yet rapidly innovate in
the applications.

in particular, the user experience now that the GNOME 2.0 platform is almost complete.

I've presented GNOME to government officials on several continents;
built public awareness of GNOME around the world through the media,
seminars and trade shows; secured funding, hardware and services
to support GNOME. I see 2002 as the year GNOME reaches beyond the
hacker community and to schools, corporations and governments.
My contribution is to build bridges, develop strategy, policy and
projects that are inclusive and appeal to a wider geography of
developers and users.

I'm a relative newcomer to the Gnome world as a programmer, with my main
interests in multimedia, all ease-of-use concerns (accessibility
included), and portability. I've never run for any elections on such a

politics, and not hackers ;), and being French, I have a big mouth as well.
Hmm, couple of words to go...I like bitter ale.

I have several years of experience with GNOME, and want to help ensure
continuity between the current board and the new one. My main goal on

GNOME is the smoothest desktop I've ever used, and I intend to do
anything and everything I can to keep our development rolling. My

turn into a feasible solution against proprietary software turning into a powerful
stable API that will be available for everyone.

I've been working for GNOME since years before there was a GNOME. In
1983, while formulating plans for the GNU operating system, I decided
it should include a window system. After two desktop initiatives that
didn't pan out, I found Miguel, who launched our third desktop
project--GNOME. As president of the Free Software Foundation and Chief
GNUisance of the GNU Project, I have had years of experience working with
contributors both individual and corporate.

toolkits on the Internet. I understand the major
weakness of the GNOME architecture at this stage. If
I am elected, the first thing I will push is to merge
gnome-specific widgets into gtk+, so there are less
number of libraries to link against :-)

We need to improve the project's outreach, both within the Free Software

good information easy to get to. Some work on infrastructure can make
other tasks and goals easier, such as contributing and releasing. We need
more GNOME love and better cooperation. All of this, openly and
transparently, without interrupting our awesome hacker's hacking time! I'm
wacky enough to believe we can do it, too. :)

<br>
<h3>GNOME Foundation Overview</h3>
<p>
The GNOME Foundation will work to further the goal of the
GNOME project: to create a computing platform for use by
the general public that is completely free software.
</p>
<p>
To achieve this goal, the Foundation will coordinate releases
of GNOME and determine which projects are part of GNOME. The
Foundation will act as an official voice for the GNOME project,
providing a means of communication with the press and with
commercial and noncommercial organizations interested in GNOME
software. The foundation may produce educational materials and
documentation to help the public learn about GNOME software. In
addition, it may sponsor GNOME-related technical conferences,
represent GNOME at relevant conferences sponsored by others, help
create technical standards for the project and promote the use and
development of GNOME software. For more information, see
<A HREF="/">The GNOME Foundation Web Site</A>.
</p>

<p>To run the vote counting scripts, you need to perform several
steps:</p>
<p>First, obtain copies of the <a
href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/vote/2001-November.txt.gz">ballot
archive</a> (referred to below as 2001-November.txt), the <a
href="registered-voters.txt">membership list</a>
(registered-voters.txt), and the two voting scripts, <a
href="list-addresses.py">list-addresses.py</a> and <a
href="vote-counter.py">vote-counter.py</a></p>
<p>Then, extract the valid voting addresses from the membership list:
<pre>$ python list-addresses.py registered-voters.txt &gt; addresses.txt</pre>
<p>Next, run the vote counter script; it's probably best to save the results to a file (they are long):
<pre>$ python vote-counter.py 2001-November.txt
gnome-foundation-secret-cXjoS6521 addresses.txt &gt; results.txt</pre>
<p>The results should be in results.txt. A list of errors will be
generated at the top of the output, but note that many of those errors
will represent problems which are fixed later in the archive
(manifested by the voter having a counted ballot later in the
results). The final tallies will be at the bottom.</p>
<p>To exactly replicate the posted results, you should apply this <a
href="vote-archives.diff">diff file</a>, which represents the
votetakers' changes to the voting archive to fix malformatted ballots to
reflect the evident intent of the voters.</p>

<!--<P>Nov 10, 2001</P>-->
<P><BR></P>
</center>
<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@gnome.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 at the end of this
message and on <A HREF="/">http://foundation.gnome.org</A>
(where you can also find this document).</P>

<P><B>CANDIDATES FOR THE GNOME FOUNDATION BOARD OF DIRECTORS</B>
</P>
<P>1. MARTIN SEVIOR<br />
&quot;
Now that the push for corporate desktop is on in earnest I believe I can
help the GNOME community of volunteer hackers feel empowered by
providing a genuinely independent voice on the Board. I can do this
because I have no financial stake in any company. I contribute to
AbiWord and GNOME for the love of hacking and the desire to be part of
the project to make the World's best desktop.
&quot;<br />
Affiliation: University of Melbourne.<br />

</P>
<P>2. RICHARD STALLMAN<br />
&quot;
I've been working for GNOME since years before there was a GNOME. In
1983, while formulating plans for the GNU operating system, I decided
it should include a window system. After two desktop initiatives that
didn't pan out, I found Miguel, who launched our third desktop
project--GNOME.
<br />
As president of the Free Software Foundation and Chief GNUisance of
the GNU Project, I have had years of experience working with
contributors both individual and corporate.
&quot;<br />
Affiliation: Free Software Foundation.<br />

</P>
<P>3. MIGUEL DE ICAZA<br />
&quot;
Have been an active contributor to the free software movement
since 1992.
<br />
Started the GNOME project when various freedom issues arised
that would threaten the future of a fully free system.
<br />
I am one of the founders of Ximian, one of the GNOME
companies, where we employ around 40 GNOME hackers that
develop free software.
<br />
Have been actively involved for the past year in the
development of Mono and the Gtk bindings for C#.
&quot;<br />
Affiliation: Ximian.<br />

</P>
<P>4. BILL HANEMAN<br />
&quot;
I am active not only in the accessibility project work,
but also am actively working with the groups doing Mozilla,
OpenOffice, and Java integration with GNOME. My goals for GNOME:
a great developer platform, a complete user desktop environment
that is not only free but fully accessible to everyone.
I am a also Sun Microsystems employee, but would serve as an
"individual contributor" and always keep the "big picture" for GNOME
paramount.

&quot;
I'm standing as an independant, experienced committee worker with the
international and democratic interests of GNOME as my prime concerns,
along with transparent and accessible board activity. Having been
involved in GNOME for two years working with the membership committee,
and with a great deal of experience in similar roles I feel I have a
wide view of GNOME's goals and the capabilities and time to serve as an
effective board member.

interested in seeing GNOME be pitched as viable desktop platform to developers
and would like to see more events such as Sun's developer courses and the
tutorials planned for next year's GUADEC. Experience serving on committees

- Ensuring that Gnome stays a Meritocracy
<br />
- Keeping our vision wider than a file manager and control panel, and
on a complete Free software desktop.
<br />
- Ensuring the hackers make the coding / code inclusion decisions, the
artists make the art / art inclusion decisions, the UI team decide
the UI, the i18n team in charge of i18n, and the release team

I am French, long time Gnomer and Linux addict, maintainer of
libxml, libxslt and rpmfind. I served on the Gnome Board for two
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 the foundation to
get acceptance by program developpers is the next challenge of the Board.

I am passionate about GNOME and Free Software, and have committed a large

personal community, ensure a transparently operated Foundation, and to
promote our project and achievements aggressively.

&quot;
I'm announcing myself as a candidate for the 2002 elections of the
GNOME Foundation board of directors.
<br />
The largest value I bring to Gnome is one of perspective to the operation
of a number of different styles of organizations. Specifically, GNOME
needs to continue to be open to contributions of all sorts, whether code,
or translations, or web work, to UI design and graphics, to name a few.
<br />
While I don't currently write Gnome code itself, I do hack on the X Window
System, as I have for a long time; most recently on the RandR extension.
I've been on the Gnome board the last two years.

&quot;
To date, the GNOME foundation has failed to be of any substantial
benefit to the GNOME project. We are, however, reaching a level of
momentum and organization at which the foundation can have a big
impact. What we lack is resources: funds to subsidize in-person events,
to fly people to conferences, to support our hardware and
infrastructural needs, to promote the project, and to provide equipment
to hackers who need it. I served as co-chair of the board this last
year and organized the 90-person Boston GNOME Summit in July. If
elected this year, my focus will be on ensuring that GNOME has the
resources it needs to succeed.

GNOME Foundation needs the combined efforts of hackers and non-hackers.
Since I first worked with GNOME four years ago, getting machines and
setting up booths and presentations, the developer community and user
base has grown tremendously.
<br />
My contribution is to build bridges and obtain resources needed for
GNOME to successfully continue its growth. Working with the GNOME
community is a great experience and I'd like to continue pushing for
more adoption by governments and schools.

I want to get involved with the board for three reasons. First, to

activity level in areas where the board is GNOME's most effective organ,
like marketing, infrastructure, and fundraising. Finally, to ensure that
the board does not interfere with more direct community leadership in
areas where that leadership is already providing effective guidance.

I intend to establish better and more accessible usability standards in

this by using my experience and expertise in the usability field,
researching the way users do their jobs and providing that data to the
hacker community, providing a forum for usability gurus and hackers to
communicate, and helping said persons to organize themselves so a real
review process can happen.

I've been hacking on GNOME almost since its early beginnings. However,
about a year ago I took a longer break to concentrate more on
university.
<br />
This spring, I became a Mono hacker and since then, I've been hacking on
the compiler and the new Mono Debugger.
<br />
As an European guy and Mono hacker, my main focus is helping GNOME
moving forward in Europe and integrating GNOME and Mono nicely so that
people can quickly and easily design their coolest GNOME apps with Mono.

I'm running for the GNOME Foundation board in order to help GNOME and in
the process better myself by making GNOME problems, my problems.
While I'm not a serious coder I can code; I think my talents really lie in
facilitating and attacking problems from a high level. I would like to
help the GNOME project grow further by encouraging the use of GEP, help
get documentation complete, and establish more desktop standards. I've
had experience in leading a diverse engineering team, worked on projects
that spanned many physical locations, and had some management experience.
All of which requires critical thinking and planning. Thanks.

&quot;
We lack complete developer's documentation for our 2.0 platform. The
documentation I have written in the past has been useful to people, so I
want to work with the different developers of GNOME libraries to ensure
that their code has proper documentation. Also, I want to help in
coordination between the GNOME and OpenOffice.org teams --- OO.o needs
to integrate well into the GNOME environment, and they may also be able
to use some of our cool technologies to avoid duplicated work.

<h3>GNOME Foundation Overview</h3>
<p>
The GNOME Foundation will work to further the goal of the
GNOME project: to create a computing platform for use by
the general public that is completely free software.

To achieve this goal, the Foundation will coordinate releases
of GNOME and determine which projects are part of GNOME. The
Foundation will act as an official voice for the GNOME project,
providing a means of communication with the press and with
commercial and noncommercial organizations interested in GNOME
software. The foundation may produce educational materials and
documentation to help the public learn about GNOME software. In
addition, it may sponsor GNOME-related technical conferences,
represent GNOME at relevant conferences sponsored by others, help
create technical standards for the project and promote the use and
development of GNOME software. For more information, see

<h2 align="center">HOW TO VERIFY THE RESULTS</h2>
<h3>Obtaining all the files</h3>
<p>
To run the vote counting scripts, you need several files:
<ul>
<li>the votes archives for <a href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/vote/2002-November.txt.gz">November</a> and <a href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/vote/2002-December.txt.gz">December</a></li>
<li>the list of <a href="registered-voters.txt">registered voters</a></li>
<li>the script to <a href="list-addresses.py">generate the addresses of the voters</a></li>
<li>the script to <a href="vote-counter.py">count the votes</a></li>
<li>the <a href="vote-archives.diff">diff file</a> that we applied to the vote archives</li>
</ul>
Please note that you need python to run the scripts.
</p>
<h3>Running the scripts</h3>
<p>
Here are the steps to obtain the results:
<pre>$ gunzip 2002-November.txt.gz 2002-December.txt.gz</pre>
<pre>$ cat 2002-November.txt 2002-December.txt &gt; vote-archives.txt</pre>
<pre>$ python list-addresses.py registered-voters.txt &gt; addresses.txt</pre>
<pre>$ python vote-counter.py vote-archives.txt dontforgettovote addresses.txt &gt; results.txt</pre>
</p>
<p>
The results should be in results.txt. A list of errors will be
generated at the top of the output, but note that many of those errors
will represent problems which are fixed later in the archive
(manifested by the voter having a counted ballot later in the
results). The final tallies will be at the bottom.
</p>
<p>
If you want to replicate the posted results, you have to apply the diff
file before running the scripts:
<pre>$ diff -p0 &lt; vote-archives.diff</pre>
</p>

<h3>GNOME Foundation Overview</h3>
<p>
The GNOME Foundation will work to further the goal of the
GNOME project: to create a computing platform for use by
the general public that is completely free software.
</p>
<p>
To achieve this goal, the Foundation will coordinate releases
of GNOME and determine which projects are part of GNOME. The
Foundation will act as an official voice for the GNOME project,
providing a means of communication with the press and with
commercial and noncommercial organizations interested in GNOME
software. The foundation may produce educational materials and
documentation to help the public learn about GNOME software. In
addition, it may sponsor GNOME-related technical conferences,
represent GNOME at relevant conferences sponsored by others, help
create technical standards for the project and promote the use and
development of GNOME software. For more information, see
<A HREF="/">The GNOME Foundation Web Site</A>.

member by adding your information to gnome-foundation/membership.txt in
CVS. Otherwise, mail your full real name, your email address, and a sentence
or so describing your contribution to GNOME to membership-committee@gnome.org, and they
will add you. Contributions need not be code - documentation, webmastering, etc.
are also considered GNOME contributions.

working for a corporation may be elected to the board of directors by a
popular vote of the GNOME Foundation membership (i.e. GNOME developers and

difficult task of managing a project as large as the GNOME Project. It
does not represent a significant change in technical direction or overall
goals. It is not intended to be an attack on anyone else, simply a positive
step for GNOME.

announced their participation at LinuxWorld were expressing their intent
to join the foundation once it is formally incorporated. The primary benefit of
joining the advisory board is the opportunity to discuss GNOME issues
with the other companies on the board, and the opportunity to show your
support for the GNOME Project.

<h1>Draft Charter for The GNOME Foundation</h1>
<h2>Draft 0.61 (23 October 2000)</h2>
<p>
This document describes the purpose, basic structure and operational
policies of a proposed GNOME foundation. Although certain issues are not
addressed fully, the core functions of the foundation are defined and
procedures for them are described.
</p>
<p>
This document includes broad <q>mission level</q> statements and
operational provisions. We are in the process of creating Articles of
Incorporation and By-Laws that will incorporate this charter, cast in
stone our fundamental beliefs, and give us the flexibility to amend
implementation items.
</p>
<p>
A ChangeLog and author's list are at the end of this document.
</p>
<h2>Preface: Why a GNOME Foundation?</h2>
<p>
Since the project was started in 1998, GNOME has grown tremendously. The
technology has started to mature, the amount of code contributed has
exploded, the number of developers (also known as GNOME hackers) who are
contributing to GNOME has more than doubled. With the emergence of a
GNOME industry, and as corporate partners are embracing GNOME, the number
of hackers who are paid to work full-time on GNOME has grown
dramatically, in addition to the hundreds of volunteer hackers in the
community.
</p>
<p>
As GNOME has grown, so have our goals. Over the next few years, we want
to offer a state-of-the-art, fully free desktop to many people who today
are not using computers because they are too expensive and too
complicated to use.
</p>
<p>
In short, GNOME is growing up.
</p>
<p>
To achieve our goals in a timely manner, the project will need more focus
than the current structure can offer. When GNOME was a smaller project,
Miguel was able to make most of the key decisions. Today, there is a need
for a forum that can provide GNOME, and the projects that make up GNOME,
with the structure and support they will need to continue to grow. We
need a more structured environment to smoothly integrate new citizens
into the community. The GNOME Foundation will provide this support. The
Foundation will also provide a place to resolve the inevitable conflicts
that arise in a diverse community. Equally important, the Foundation can
voice the decisions and positions of the GNOME project, and, therefore,
can act as a liaison with the press and corporations who want to be
involved with GNOME.
</p>
<p>
Most importantly, the GNOME Foundation will provide transparency and
representation. Whereas decisions in the past have often been made in an
ad-hoc fashion and in private conversations between a small number of
people, the foundation will provide a forum that is elected by the GNOME
community, that is accountable to that community, and that will conduct
its affairs in the open.
</p>
<h3>Mission Statement</h3>
<p>
The GNOME Foundation will work to further the goal of the GNOME project:
to create a computing platform for use by the general public that is
completely free software.
</p>
<p>
To achieve this goal, the Foundation will coordinate releases of GNOME
and determine which projects are part of GNOME. The Foundation will act
as an official voice for the GNOME project, providing a means of
communication with the press and with commercial and noncommercial
organizations interested in GNOME software. The foundation may produce
educational materials and documentation to help the public learn about
GNOME software. In addition, it may sponsor GNOME-related technical
conferences, and represent GNOME at relevant conferences sponsored by
others, help create technical standards for the project and promote the
use and development of GNOME software.
</p>
<h2>I. Principles of the GNOME Foundation</h2>
<h3>Open and Public</h3>
<p>
In almost every sense of the word, GNOME is an open project. This is one
of our greatest strengths, has always been, and should be the balefire by
which we plot our course into the future.
</p>
<p>
The foundation should not be exclusionary or elitist. Every GNOME
contributor, however small his or her contribution, must have the
opportunity to participate in determining the direction and actions of
the project.
</p>
<p>
The openness of GNOME has always been a point of pride for us, and an
important characteristic which distinguishes us from many of the other
open source projects out there. Anyone can become a contributor, write
access to our CVS does not involve trial by fire or other masonic
rituals, we don't use Access Control Lists, and we've always been
exceedingly good about folding talented newcomers in our arms and
welcoming them to the project. No resume required.
</p>
<p>
Major components of GNOME -- things we now consider to be absolutely core
to the project -- were begun by energetic individuals with the desire to
create something cool. Look at glade, zvt, libxml, dia, GNOME vfs,
libart, the desktop icons... all of these were created by people who had
not previously contributed heavily to the project, but who are now
considered to be among our heavy hitters.
</p>
<p>
The GNOME foundation must not stifle the interest of outsiders. An
ill-conceived foundation could discourage outsider participation
directly, by establishing rules which limit the ability of potential
contributors to make their mark, or indirectly, by engendering an
alienating sense of elitism. The stained glass of the cathedral creates a
colorful spectacle for those inside, but from the outside, the building
is just a hulking grey edifice, intimidating and impenetrable.
</p>
<p>
This principle has real, concrete meaning for the foundation: All
discussions must be publicly viewable, any person must have the
opportunity to contribute to the decision-making process, and every GNOME
contributor must have the direct ability to influence the decisions which
are made. The foundation must be democratic and friendly to those
responsible for making GNOME what it is.
</p>
<h3>GNOME is Free Software</h3>
<p>
GNOME is part of the GNU project and supports the goals of the GNU
project as defined by the Free Software Foundation. Free software
licensing has always been a mainstay of GNOME, and we must ensure that
this tradition continues. GNOME will include only Free software.
</p>
<h3>GNOME is a Meritocracy</h3>
<p>
Participation in the foundation is intended only for those individuals who
are making contributions to the GNOME project and the software which makes
up GNOME. A corporation, organization or individual should not be granted
a place in the foundation unless its presence is justified by the merits
of its contribution. Money cannot buy influence in the GNOME project: show
us the code (or documentation, or translations, or leadership, or
webmastering...).
</p>
<p>
In the past, being a part of the GNOME project has simply meant
<q>I wrote some code</q> or <q>I hang out on the mailing lists and build
the thing from CVS frenetically every three hours.</q> There is no
reason to change this.
</p>
<h3>Build on What we Have (or: too much structure is poison)</h3>
<p>
In many ways, GNOME is a unique project. Comprised of dozens of autonomous
modules, GNOME has not been subject to iron-fisted structural
leadership. Furthermore, there are many pieces of software which are core
to GNOME which stand with one foot in our camp and one foot outside. There
really is no clear analogue to GNOME among most other free software
projects. GNOME is bigger than almost every other effort in existence ,
more loosely organized, and possibly faster growing. Plus, GNOME sits on
the frontier of the Linux application market, and is likely to continue to
face growing pains as we try to meet the needs of ISVs (Independent
Software Vendors) and others who are joining the movement.
</p>
<p>
It would be impossible to impose a high degree of bureaucratic structure
onto a heretofore amorphous and somewhat anarchic community. And it
shouldn't be done, anyway. Let's not attempt to imitate some of the groups
which are smaller, or which had more structure in their beginnings. Any
new structure which the GNOME foundation provides, if taken too far, will
be artificial, ignored, or at worst: really really annoying to developers.
</p>
<p>
Furthermore, the foundation can have no real powers of enforcement;
compliance with foundation decision should be an act of good-faith. If
we've lost consensus to the point where we're regularly forcibly ejecting
people from the foundation and co-opting their projects, we're sunk
anyway.
</p>
<p>
Heavy bureaucracy is not in our DNA. And it shouldn't be. So let's not
try to graft an administrative superstructure onto the community we've
built. Furthermore, too high a level of administrative overhead will gum
up the works to the point where the foundation will completely cease to
function and become useless and vestigial.
</p>
<p>
Instead, the foundation will work with GNOME's strengths to make it
better. A foundation that provides cohesion, vision, direction, and enough
organization will be an incredible asset. A foundation that attempts to do
this, but hides the iron fist under a velvet glove will not. Such an
entity would likely be ignored, and words like <q>fork</q> would be
thrown around.
</p>
<p>
The foundation should provide the project with just enough organization to
accomplish its goals effectively. Some level of structure will be
important for decision making, communication, and interacting with outside
parties.
</p>
<h3>Independence</h3>
<p>
The foundation must act in the best interests of GNOME, independent of
influence from outside organizations and corporations. No single entity
should have the ability to direct GNOME to its own ends.
</p>
<h2>II. Tasks of the Foundation</h2>
<h3>Releasing GNOME, defining GNOME</h3>
<p>
The foundation bears the responsibility of coordinating each subsequent
release of GNOME. For each release, this will include setting a schedule
(whether or not it is overlooked), choosing the set of modules which are a
part of the release, and preparing the appropriate marketing materials.
</p>
<p>
GNOME is a loose collection of independent projects. The foundation will
determine the set of modules which fall under the GNOME umbrella. Most
often, the foundation will endorse a project as a GNOME project simply by
including it in a release. In some cases, however, a project that is not
scheduled to be included in any particular release will be designated as a
part of GNOME. In these ways, the foundation will be <q>defining GNOME.</q>
</p>
<p>
It should be apparent that these two tasks (defining GNOME and doing
releases) are interrelated: most often, defining GNOME is just determining
which modules are a part of any given release.
</p>
<h3>Public Image and Voice</h3>
<p>
The foundation will be the principal entity with the ability to make
official public statements for GNOME, such as press releases. The
foundation will also be responsible for maintaining the <q>GNOME
brand,</q> and will have to determine the appropriate uses of the
associated trademarks. The foundation will also be a hub for
joint-marketing efforts by those organizations (corporate and non) which
want to make GNOME-related announcements. Regional groups, created to
promote GNOME in specific areas, may wish to make their own announcements
about their efforts.
</p>
<h3>Corporate and Organizational Point of Contact</h3>
<p>
Companies and other organizations which want to communicate with the GNOME
project should be able to use the foundation as their first point of
contact. The foundation will be responsible for helping these
organizations understand the GNOME project and become involved. The
foundation will be vested with the power to represent GNOME in these
conversations.
</p>
<p>
The foundation will also act as a forum for discussions between the
organizations and companies which have an interest in GNOME. There will be
a subgroup of the foundation which will include members from these
organizations to make this possible.
</p>
<h3>Standards Definition</h3>
<p>
As GNOME matures, it will become necessary to have an official set of
standards which define GNOME compliance, for ISVs and for
distributors. The foundation will be responsible for ratifying these
standards, and authorizing the application of the GNOME trademark to them.
</p>
<h3>Direction and Vision</h3>
<p>
The GNOME foundation will provide a sense of leadership and cohesive
direction to the GNOME project. The foundation will work to communicate a
vision and set of goals for the future releases of GNOME. These should be
communicated to the general public and to the project at large.
</p>
<p>
As GNOME evolves, other duties which are appropriate and necessary for the
foundation to undertake will emerge. Before the board of directors of the
foundation takes on any major new duties, it shall consult with the
broader GNOME community.
</p>
<h3>Fund Receipt and Disbursement</h3>
<p>
Individuals and organizations that want to make a monetary contribution
to the GNOME project will be able to do so by making a contribution to
the GNOME foundation. The foundation will be in charge of disbursing
these funds to the benefit of GNOME and, to the extent possible, in
accordance with the wishes of the benefactor.
</p>
<h3>III. Basic Structure and Operation of the Foundation</h3>
<p>
The foundation will be global in scope, but incorporated in the United
States. Affiliated foundations, created for the purpose of promoting
GNOME, supporting developers or disbursement of funds, may be created in
many countries or geographic areas.
</p>
<p>
The GNOME foundation is divided into three bodies: the Membership, the
Board of Directors, and the Advisory Board.
</p>
<h3>Membership</h3>
<p>
The Membership will be a large body made up of people who have made a
contribution to any module which is part of GNOME. The intent of the
Membership is to provide the opportunity for all contributors to have a
place and a voice in the GNOME foundation. The Membership will be open to
all people who want to be a member and who have made any kind of
contribution to any part of the GNOME project, with no membership fee,
and no requirement of organizational or corporate affiliation.
</p>
<p>
The membership will have two responsibilities: electing the Board of
Directors, and issuing popular referenda on any issue under the
jurisdiction of the foundation, at any time (hopefully an infrequent
event).
</p>
<h3>Board of Directors</h3>
<p>
The board is the primary decision-making body of the GNOME foundation. It
is responsible for ratifying all decisions the GNOME foundation
makes. These decisions can be overturned by referendum.
</p>
<p>
The board will be made up of a small, limited number of people, elected
by the membership. New seats on the board may be made available as the
project grows, subject to approval by the board or referendum of the
membership.
</p>
<p>
No single organization or company will be allowed to control more than
40% of the board seats, regardless of election results. In the event that
individuals affiliated with a corporation or organization hold more than
40% of the seats, affiliates from that corporation will be required to
resign until 40% is no longer held. Individuals affiliated with a company
or organization are people who are employees, officers, or members of the
board of directors of an organization; or have a significant consulting
relationship; or own at least 1% of the equity or debt, or derivatives
thereof, of a company.
</p>
<p>
Notwithstanding the above, members of the board of directors shall act on
behalf of all GNOME contributors in the best interest of the GNOME
project. Although board members may be affiliated with companies that
have an interest in the success of GNOME, they will not be considered
representatives of companies with which they are affiliated. The GNOME
Foundation Board of Advisors provides a forum for corporate
representation.
</p>
<h3>Advisory Board</h3>
<p>
The Advisory Board is made up of companies and organizations which have a
desire to participate in advising the foundation about releases and other
decisions. The Advisory Board will have no decision-making ability. The
Advisory Board is a place for its members to have open discussions about
their GNOME-related strategies. Membership in the forum is open to all
companies and groups who are interested in contributing to the GNOME
project, subject to the approval of the board of directors.
</p>
<p>
Corporate members will pay a membership fee of $10,000 to join the
Advisory Board. There is no membership fee for non-profit organizations
or companies with fewer than 10 employees. Additionally, membership fees
may be waived upon request by the board of directors. We value
contributions of code and hackers resource much more than membership
dues!
</p>
<p>
From time to time, ad-hoc committees may be formed, formally or
informally, either by the board or the membership.
</p>
<h2>IV. Board Meetings, Voting, Referendum and Election</h2>
<h3>Board Meetings &amp; Votes</h3>
<p>
Voting sessions of the board of directors will be formal, performed
either in-person, telephonically, via e-mail, or on IRC. This can be
cryptographically authenticated with a registry of public keys. A simple
majority is required to approve any measure. Often, decisions will be
reached by consensus.
</p>
<p>
Minutes shall be kept for all meetings of the board of directors. Votes
on all topics will be recorded and attributed. All of these records will
be archived and made publicly available immediately.
</p>
<p>
On certain occasions, conversations within the GNOME Foundation will be
confidential. On those occasions, notes from meetings etc. may be edited
to maintain confidentiality. We will work to keep confidential
conversations down to a minimum.
</p>
<h3>Referendum</h3>
<p>
A referendum can be issued by any member of the foundation.
</p>
<p>
To be accepted, a request for a referendum must be endorsed by 10% of the
Membership. The maximum number of valid endorsements from Members
affiliated (as defined above) with any one corporation or organization
shall be 5%.
</p>
<p>
An electronic voting system will be established online, with members
voting on a web page or by e-mail. In order for a referendum to pass,
1/3d of the total membership must participate, and 2/3ds of the
participating members must approve. There will be a mailing list for all
of the members, and all referenda must be announced to the list by the
initiator before they are opened on the voting system. At least three
days must pass before the referendum is closed, and no referendum can
remain open for longer than fourteen days.
</p>
<h3>Elections and Board Size</h3>
<p>
Elections for the board of directors will be regularly held every
year. Candidates for election must be members of the GNOME Foundation and
shall nominate themselves. Members may vote for a number of candidates
equal to the number of board slots that are available (in other words, if
there are 10 slots on the board of directors, then each member may vote
for up to 10 candidates).
</p>
<p>
The board shall be composed of those candidates who receive the highest
number of votes.
</p>
<p>
The board of directors may be recalled by referendum, using the process
described above. If the board of directors is recalled by referendum, new
elections shall be held immediately.
</p>
<p>
Between elections, board vacancies or new board slots shall be filled by
appointment by the board of directors.
</p>
<p>
The board of directors shall have at least 7 members and no more than 15
members. Prior to each election, the board of directors shall determine
the number of board seats for the next year. The initial board of
directors shall be composed of 11 members.
</p>
<p>
If more than half of the elected candidates are affiliated with one
company (as defined above), elections returns shall be adjusted as
follows. Individuals who are affiliated with the company which has an
excess of representatives shall be removed based on the number of votes
they received until such individuals no longer hold a majority of the
seats on the board. Other candidates shall replace them, based on the
number of votes they received. (In other words, if there are 10 board
seats and 6 people from company X were elected, than the one person from
that company who received the fewest number of votes will be replaced by
the candidate who received the 11th highest number of votes).
</p>
<h2>V. Release Engineering / Defining GNOME</h2>
<p>
The board of directors will be responsible for authorizing the release of
a new version of GNOME. The board will determine the set of modules
which will make up the release.
</p>
<p>
Operational management of the release may be handled by a board-appointed
committee or individual, made up of general Members and/or directors. The
membership will be able to affect all these decisions primarily by
participating in the discussions which lead up to them. In extreme cases,
a referendum can be used.
</p>
<h2>VI. Funds</h2>
<p>
One of the primary purposes of the GNOME foundation is to allow outsiders
to contribute financially to the continued development of GNOME. These
outsiders will make donations to the project, which will be disbursed by
the board, under the advice of the membership.
</p>
<h2>VII. Bootstrapping the GNOME Foundation</h2>
<p>
The membership will be populated with all the consenting members of the
GNOME-hackers mailing list, people holding CVS accounts, and anyone else
who speaks out and wants to join when asked.
</p>
<p>
A committee shall be established by the current GNOME Steering Committee
to manage the membership list, add new members and oversee the elections.
</p>
<p>
The first elections may be held prior to the incorporation of the
Foundation but shall be held no later than 90 days from the incorporation
of the GNOME Foundation. If the Foundation is incorporated prior to the
first elections, the GNOME Steering Committee shall appoint on interim
board of directors.
</p>
<h3>VIII. Authors</h3>
<p>

<h4>I. Principles</h4>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
Renamed this to Principles of the GNOME Foundation and created

<p>
Reason: The principles and tasks are really two different things
that belong under separate headings.
</p>

<li>
<p>
Deleted introductory paragraph.
</p>
<p>
Reason: it tried to explain the link between Principles and Tasks.
</p>
</li>
</ul>

<ul>
<li>
<p>
Deleted: We didn't get here by way of smoke-filled rooms and power

<li>Moved last paragraph to:</li>
</ul>
<h5>Free Software:</h5>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
Added: GNOME is part of the GNU project and supports the goals of the

</p>
</li>
<li>
<p>
Deleted <q>as determined by the Board of Directors</q>.
</p>

<p>
Moved &quot;Fund Receipt &amp; Disbursement&quot; to the end.
</p>
<p>

</p>
</li>
</ul>
<h4>II. Structure and Operation</h4>
<h5>Advisory Board:</h5>
<ul>
<li>
Modified: Corporate members will pay an membership fee of $10,000 to
join the Advisory Board. There is no membership fee for non-profit
organizations or companies with less than 10 employees. Additionally,
membership fees may be waived upon request by the board of directors. We
value contributions of code and hackers resource much more than
membership dues!
</li>
</ul>
<h5>III. Board Meetings, Voting, Elections and Referendum</h5>
<ul>
<li>
<p>
Added Board Meetings section, which includes openness and
confidentiality clause.

<title>About the GNOME Foundation</title>
<meta name="cvsdate" content="$Date$">
</head>
<body>
<h1>About The GNOME Foundation</h1>
<p>
The GNOME Foundation is comprised of a number of bodies - the
Board of Directors, the Executive Director, the Advisory Board
and the GNOME Membership. The <a href="charter/">GNOME Foundation
Charter</a> outlines the overall purpose, structure, and process
for the GNOME Foundation. The <a href="bylaws.pdf">GNOME Foundation By-laws</a>
(PDF) document the policies and procedures of the Foundation as a non-profit
group.
</p>
<h2>Board of Directors</h2>
<p>
The GNOME Foundation is run by a Board of Directors, which is elected
annually by the GNOME community, as the GNOME Membership, to carry out
much of the GNOME Foundation's tasks. The Board of Directors meets every
other week with a phone conference to discuss various topics pertaining
to the regular activities of the GNOME Foundation and GNOME. The minutes
to these meetings are posted publicly on the <a href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/">
foundation-list archives</a>.
</p>
<p>
The Board of Directors for Fall 2002 through Fall 2003 is:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Jonathan Blandford</li>
<li>Miguel de Icaza</li>
<li>Glynn Foster</li>
<li>Nat Friedman</li>
<li>Jim Gettys</li>
<li>Jody Goldberg</li>
<li>Bill Haneman</li>
<li>James Henstridge</li>
<li>Daniel Veillard</li>
<li>Luis Villa</li>
<li>Jeff Waugh</li>
</ul>
<h2>Executive Director</h2>
<p>
Tim Ney is the GNOME Foundation's executive director. Mr. Ney has
a wealth of experience working for non-profit organizations from the
fine arts to high tech. Previously at the Free Software Foundation,
Mr. Ney is very familiar with the Free Software idealogy and community
and has already integrated into the GNOME community seamlessly. Joining
the GNOME Foundation at less than one year from its inception, Mr. Ney
is playing a crucial role in growing and developing the Foundation in
its formative years.
</p>
<p>
The executive director is tasked with managing and growing the GNOME
Foundation as an organization. These tasks include working with the Board
of Directors, Advisory Board members, GNOME membership, and other GNOME
supporters to improve GNOME, support the GNOME community, and achieve
the goals of the GNOME Foundation. The executive director also oversee's
the GNOME Foundation's legal, administrative, and fundraising efforts.
</p>
<h2>Advisory Board</h2>
<p>
The Advisory Board is made up of organizations and companies that support
GNOME. The Advisory Board has no decision-making authority but provides a
vehicle for its members to communicate with the Board of Directors and
help the Directors guide the overall direction of GNOME and the GNOME
Foundation.
</p>
<p>
The Advisory Board consists of representatives from the following GNOME
Foundation member corporations:
</p>
<ul>
<li>Debian Project</li>
<li>Free Software Foundation</li>
<li>Hewlett-Packard</li>
<li>IBM</li>
<li>MandrakeSoft</li>
<li>Red Flag Linux</li>
<li>Red Hat</li>
<li>Sun Microsystems</li>
<li>Wipro</li>
<li>Ximian</li>
</ul>
<h2>GNOME Membership</h2>
<p>The GNOME Membership consists of all the contributors to the GNOME
project. Members can run for election to the Board of Directors,
vote in the elections for the Board of Directors, and suggest referenda.

<title>GNOME Foundation Election Candidates</title>
<meta name="cvsdate" content="$Date$">
</head>
<body>
<h1>Candidates for GNOME Foundation Elections</h1>
<p>Oct 26, 2000</p>
<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 foundation-list@gnome.org
(<a href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/">
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/</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
<a href="../../">GNOME Foundation Web Site</a>.
</p>
<p>
If you have any questions, please send them to either
foundation-list@gnome.org or to us at elections@gnome.org.

<h2>Candidates for the GNOME Foundation Board of Directors</h2>
<p>
1. MARTIN BAULIG. &quot;I'm a 24 years old student and working for SuSE
on GNOME. * Gnome-libs 2.0 - it is very important to be attractive to
developers of other Free Software, to have well-designed, well-documented
APIs which are a pleasure to use. * GNOME is official part of the GNU
Project and it becomes more and more important to know where we're coming
from and to stick to our roots. * Doing Talks and Shows in Germany.&quot;
Affiliated with SuSE. Full statement at <a
href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/2000-October/msg00076.html">
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/2000-October/msg00076.html</a>.
</p>
<p>
2. CHEMA CELORIO. &quot;I have been doing unpaid work for GNOME on a
daily basis for the last year. Mainly in gedit and gnome-print. And I
LOVE IT ! I have developed very good personal relationships with
different members of the GNOME community. I want GNOME to remain a
community effort, a fun project to work on and a project that has healthy
relationships with the companies it interacts with. I want GNOME to
continue being widely open to new contributors.&quot; Full statement at
<a
href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/2000-October/msg00056.html">
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/2000-October/msg00056.html</a>.
</p>
<p>
3. KENNETH CHRISTIANSEN. &quot;I will work on making Gnome work better
with internationalization, so that people in non-english speaking
countries can start using Gnome for real. This requires a lot of work,
and everyone in the Gnome community will have to settle on some common
guidelines for dealing with this. Due to my long involvement in Gnome
Translation Project I have quite some idea of how we can do this, and is
personally interested in working hard for archieving this. No corporate
affiliations!&quot; Full statement at <a
href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/2000-October/msg00067.html">
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/2000-October/msg00067.html</a>.
</p>
<p>
4. RHETT CREIGHTON. &quot;I am a Jr. undergrad student at MIT, and I'd
like to see Gnome succeed, like all of you. If I win, I don't promise to
do a better job than most of you could do, but I do promise to do it
while eating a truckload of bananas. Really, I want to use the position
to impress chicks, I mean, help guide the direction of Gnome toward what
I think will make it the ideal computing platform.&quot;. Full statement

</p>
<p>
5. BART DECREM. &quot;As the Foundation's coordinator, I have helped
build a structure that maintains the power in GNOME with the hackers
while providing ways for corporate partners to have their voice heard. I
see my role as a facilitator who ensures that the foundation will
function in an open and effective manner, and to help bring corporate
partners on board who will bring GNOME to many millions of new users
without violating our principles.&quot; Affiliated with Eazel. Full

<p>
6. MIGUEL DE ICAZA. Co-founder of the GNOME project; one of the
principal contributors to gnome-libs, Bonobo, and Gnumeric, among
many other modules; currently serves on the board of directors of the
Free Software Foundation; pushed to create both the interim Steering
Committee and the GNOME Foundation: sees his role in the foundation
as &quot;to continue doing the same work I have been doing for free
software and GNOME in the future, with the backup of the Foundation.&quot;

</p>
<p>
7. CHRISTOPHER GABRIEL. &quot;I'm a 22 years old fellow born in
Italy. * Completely dedicated to free software, following GNOME since
some times in the first few months. * No affiliation with any company
making money from GNOME. * Official maintainer of GNU packages. *
Largely responsible for much of the free software grass-roots
community effort in Italy. Having me on the board, you will have
someone who will remind other board members of the importance of
things.&quot; Full statement at

</p>
<p>
8. JUANTOMAS GARCIA. Spent last three years promoting GNU/Linux
and free software in Spain, to companies and the Spanish government,
among others: &quot;GNOME needs more than code, it needs lots of
input and work on and over it... The board needs to have a real
criticism from the inside that's brave enough to point out whatever
is wrong with GNOME... I'm Spanish and European (and very proud of
it) and Europe needs more GNOME action indeed.&quot; Full statement

9. JIM GETTYS. Co-wrote X Window System, upon which GNOME is
built; currently pushing Linux and X on handhelds. Experience with X
Consortium, W3C, IETF. Worked on the GNOME Foundation announcement
and startup this summer: &quot;In short, I'd really like to see open
source desktops succeed. Interoperability is a key to this, and
applications (both open source and commercial) are another. We MUST
avoid the GUI wars that crippled UNIX desktops in the 1980's to
change the world.&quot; Affiliated with Compaq. Full statement at

10. BERTRAND GUIHENEUF. &quot;I am CEO of Henzai, Paris, a company
dedicated to making Gnome the standard GUI for small Internet
Appliances. I am co-maintainer of gnome-objc but was more known to
have started Evolution, in particular the camel library. My job at
Henzai gives me particular skills for project managment. Once on the
board I want to push the creation of the European foundation. I also
plan to lobby for a complete cross-platform Gnome.&quot; Affiliated

<p>
11. THOMPSON HAYNER. &quot;I am an independent thinker. I make my
living charging high fees to companies to run web-based free software
for them (primarily Latin American hospitals). I invest half my money
primarily in underprized fiber optic companies, give myself an
allowance of $64,000 a year, and give the rest to various charities,
and do Random Acts of Kindness (for example, recently hired an
attorney to help a Vietnamenese girl I barely know fight to bring her
brother and sister over).&quot; Full statement at

hacking on GNOME since 1998. I have worked on various parts of GNOME
ranging from some of the base libraries used by many applications to
language bindings (python) to applications (dia). I hope to represent
these views on the foundation board. I am a member of the current
GNOME Steering Committee. I am not currently employed by any GNOME

new and experienced users. This is not easy, but I still want to
offer my help and try my best. I have good relationships towards
others and I try to live in peace with different kinds of people.

17. ELLIOT LEE. &quot;You, the people who have made GNOME happen,
deserve the best possible help in getting GNOME where you want it to
go. Using my knowledge of software development and project
coordination, my goal will be to help you out with all the
distractions, problems, and boring work that GNOME and its foundation
need doing, so that you can focus on having fun contributing.&quot;

current maintainer of Ghostscript. I've been involved in Gnome since
the beginning, particularly in areas of 2D graphics and imaging. I do
consulting through my company, artofcode LLC, including work for
Eazel, and commercial licensing of Ghostscript, but consider myself a
strong independent voice against corporate interests. I did not
invent the Internet, but did take the initiative in developing it to
its current degenerated state.&quot; Affiliated with Eazel. Full

contributors, I would be delighted to represent their interests on
the board. * Soon Bonobo ( which I help maintain ) will be everywhere
and vital to the Gnome release schedule, as well as to everyone
building on it. * I have loved presenting the ethics of free software
and selling the Gnome vision to many different groups of people at
various conferences. * I will push what is best for Gnome, over

leverages the contributions of individuals and corporations to
produce the best desktop possible. (2)Identify and address GNOME's
weaknesses. (3)Improve communication with other projects,

free OS's a viable alternative for all users. At Red Hat Labs our job
is to make sure the Linux development platform facilitates that. On
the board, I'd like to work on infrastructure to make the project run
more smoothly: bug tracking, roadmaps, task lists, communication
between maintainers. I want to see GNOME get bigger, better, and more
fun, always remaining focused on technical excellence.&quot;

conferences and ongoing, as needed. I coordinated the FSF/GNOME
booths at every LinuxWorld Expo, among others - on a shoestring
budget. I'm a senior resource executive at Alexander Ogilvy PR, a

raise community and developer awareness of usability and visual
issues with GNOME projects. I'd like to have a seat on the board so I

30. JOE SHAW. &quot;I have been involved in the GNOME community
from the start, contributing to several modules. I'm the maintainer
of Achtung and author of Helix's installer and updater. I'm outspoken
against corporate dominance of the foundation, but know they need to
be well-represented. I feel that the board needs a good
hacker/non-hacker mix. GNOME needs to become more aggressive with its
conference/show policies and GNOME 2.0 development needs to take hold
now.&quot; Affiliated with Helix Code. Full statement at

software projects (most notably Nautilus, see

for others), I think the strongest qualifications I have are
non-technical. First, I have a talent for making processes more
transparent, as with my work on GNOME 1.4 coordiation. Second, I am
good at communicating both inside and outside the project. Finally, I
believe in free software, openness and honesty, and I'm willing to
stand up to anyone for these beliefs.&quot; Affiliated with Eazel.

32. OWEN TAYLOR. &quot;As co-maintainer of GTK+ and the designer
of Pango, I think I'm in a good position to handle coordination of
GNOME with these important core technologies. I also have a strong
interest in language bindings and component technology, as
represented by the CORBA::ORBit Perl bindings for CORBA. If I am
elected to the board, I will continue to push GNOME in the areas of
internationalization and an easy-to-use development platform.&quot;

<li>
Elections are for registered voters (future members of the GNOME
Foundation) only. Anyone who has made a contribution to GNOME can
register. You may do so by sending email to <a
href="mailto:membership-committee@gnome.org">
membership-committee@gnome.org</a>. People with CVS accounts can add
themselves to membership.txt in the gnome-foundation module. People who
register to vote will automatically become members of the
yet-to-be-incorporated GNOME Foundation, although anyone can withdraw
their membership at any time.
</li>
<li>
An election committee consisting of Dan Mueth, Martin Baulig, Russell
Steinthal, Chris DiBona and Sergey Panov is in charge of reviewing
registration/membership requests and will monitor the membership list
for abuse, in accordance with the charter.
</li>
<li>
To be on the ballot, anyone who is a member can announce their
candidacy, in accordance with the timeline below, by sending mail to <a
href="mailto:foundation-announce@gnome.org">foundation-announce@gnome.org</a>,
including their name, e-mail address, contributions to GNOME, and why
they want to be on the board of directors. Candidacies will be
cross-posted on <a
href="mailto:foundation-list@gnome.org">foundation-list@gnome.org</a>,
where they can be discussed.
</li>
<li>
Ballots will be sent via e-mail to all members. To vote, members return
ballots, selecting up to 11 candidates who will receive their vote.
Members may not vote more than once for the same candidate.
</li>
<li>
The 11 candidates who receive the most votes will be elected.
</li>
<li>
Not more than 4 slots may be occupied by individuals affiliated with
any one company.
See charter for definition of affiliation and process for enforcing
this rule.
</li>
<li>
If there is a tie for the 11th slot, the candidates who are tied may
choose to let the already elected board members resolve the tie, or, at
the request of any of the tied candidates, run-off elections to resolve
the tie may be held.
</li>
<li>
Votes shall be e-mailed to a publicly archived mailing list. The
archive shall be made publicly accessible at the conclusion of the
elections.
</li>
<li>
The votes will be tallied automatically, with the election committee
stepping in to decide on misformatted returns.
</li>
<li>
foundation-list@gnome.org is the mailing list to discuss
election-related issues. The election committee will resolve
election-related disputes that are not readily resolved on the list.
</li>
<li>
The election committee will announce the results of the elections.
</li>
<li>
Summary Statements: All candidates should submit 75-word max summaries
of their candidacy statement for inclusion in the ballot information
sheet that will be posted on 10/25. The deadline for this is Tuesday
10/24, noon pacific time. Candidates should also state their corporate
affilitions. Statements that are longer than 75 words will be edited
down by the elections committee. Summary statements should be
continuous text: bullet lists etc. will be converted to continuous
text. For candidates who do not submit a summary statement, the
elections committee will use a snippet from their full candidacy
statement instead. If we do not receive a sufficient number of these
summary statements, the elections committee reserves the right to post
these summaries elsewhere.
</li>
</ol>
<h2>Timeline</h2>

<body>
<h1>2000 Election Verification</h1>
<p>
To run the vote counting scripts, you need to perform several steps:
</p>
<p>
First, obtain copies of the <a
href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/vote/2000-November.txt.gz">ballot
archive</a> (referred to below as 2000-November.txt), the <a
href="registered-voters.txt"> membership list</a>
(registered-voters.txt), and the two voting scripts, <a
href="list-addresses.py">list-addresses.py</a> and <a
href="vote-counter.py"> vote-counter.py</a>
</p>
<p>
Then, extract the valid voting addresses from the membership list:
</p>
<pre>$ python list-addresses.py registered-voters.txt &gt; addresses.txt</pre>
<p>
Next, run the vote counter script; it's probably best to save the results
to a file (they are long):
</p>
<pre>$ python vote-counter.py 2000-November.txt &lt;cookie&gt; addresses.txt &gt; results.txt</pre>
<p>(The cookie has been lost.)</p>
<p>
The results should be in results.txt. A list of errors will be
generated at the top of the output, but note that many of those errors
will represent problems which are fixed later in the archive
(manifested by the voter having a counted ballot later in the
results). The final tallies will be at the bottom.
</p>
<p>
To exactly replicate the posted results, you should apply this <a
href="vote-archives.diff">diff file</a>, which represents the
votetakers' changes to the voting archive to fix malformatted ballots to
reflect the evident intent of the voters.

<h1>Candidates for GNOME Foundation Elections</h1>
<p>Nov 10, 2001</p>
<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@gnome.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
<a href="../../">GNOME Foundation Web Site</a>.
</p>
<p>
If you have any questions, please send them to either
foundation-list@gnome.org or to us at elections@gnome.org.

<h2>Candidates for the GNOME Foundation Board of Directors</h2>
<p>1. JONATHAN BLANDFORD
&quot;
I have been involved with GNOME since 1997. I have spent a lot of time
working on many core parts of GNOME, and feel like I have a very good
idea of how the project works. I very interested in helping to improve
the desktop experience, I would like to see GNOME spend more time on the
small, incremental improvements that make a desktop usable.
&quot;

</p>
<p>2. CHEMA CELORIO
&quot;
I have been contributing to GNOME over the past few years, I want to be
on the board because I want to help GNOME even further. I have a very
good relationship with a number of GNOME contributors as well as a very
good understanding of the GNOME community and what drives GNOME forward.
I am confident that we can make GNOME the best desktop available and I
work hard everyday to make it happen.

</p>
<p>3. RHETT CREIGHTON
&quot;
The future is now, and that future is: Bowling Balls. Do you realize
that if GNOME starts making bowling balls, we stand to net profit
$11,000?! That's right, eleven big ones. Net profit, mind you.

&quot;
Have been an active contributor to the free software movement since 1992.
Started the GNOME project when various freedom issues arose that would
threaten the future of a fully free system. I am one of the founders of
Ximian, one of the GNOME companies, where we employ around 40 GNOME
hackers that develop free software. &quot;

<p>5. GLYNN FOSTER
&quot;
Easy going 23 year old from Dublin, Ireland seeks position on
GNOME Foundation Board ono. Will trade communication, energy
and commitment for an honest, hard working life with comfy
seat. Will ensure that GNOME remains a happy go-lucky-project that
people are excited to work on. Previous experience includes
gnome-session hacks and being on GNOME Foundation Membership &amp;
Elections Committee. Loves Guinness &amp; climbing. Hates celery.

</p>
<p>6. NAT FRIEDMAN
&quot;
The foundation could be doing more to help GNOME be more unified,
move faster, and have more visibility. Things I would like to see
include more focus on the desktop itself, more in-person events
and a coordinated GNOME Office.
I've been contributing to GNOME since 1998 and co-maintained
Bonobo for a while. I wrote the first draft of the foundation's
charter. I co-founded Ximian, and these days, I'm in charge of our
product development. &quot;

</p>
<p>7. JIM GETTYS
&quot;
I'd like to continue to be on the board to help Gnome reach its
potential. I feel that we are about a year from having the ingredients to
make open source desktops viable for the mass market and would like to do
what I can to help make this happen. As part of this, I believe
interoperability is a key ingredient, and will work to encourage Gnome to
invest in this area.

</p>
<p>8. JODY GOLDBERG
&quot;
I have been a free software advocate since the early 90s, and have
contributed to several projects, from G++ and Wine, to Nethack and a
pager for CDE. As the current maintainer of Gnumeric I'm on the
front lines of what users like and dislike in GNOME. Our
technologies are good. Our integration could use some work. I'd
like to work towards improving communication between the far flung
elements of GNOME to improve that.

Bill Haneman AKA 'that Accessibility guy'. "I've been programming over
20 years, an active Gnome hacker since Dec. 2000. I maintain the Gnome
Accessibility Project (atk, at-spi), co-moderate
gnome-accessibility-list, and contribute to Gtk+, libglade,
libbonoboui. I'm employed by Sun Microsystems Ireland. While wearing
the 'Gnome Board hat' I would work hard to take a broad view of what's
best for Gnome. My hopes for Gnome's future include platform
development/maturation, universal accessibility, interoperability, and
extensibility.

<p>11. JAMES HENSTRIDGE
&quot;
I have been hacking on gnome for over 3 years, and have been involved in
language binding development, gtk/gnome platform library development and
also some work on apps. I am Australian, which may be a good or bad thing,
depending on your point of view :) If elected I can represent these
interests on the board. I served on the GNOME Steering committee from its
creation until the Foundation elections last year, where I was one of the
unsuccessful candidates.

&quot;
I have been with the GNOME project since '97, maintain several packages,
and have been 'half-part' of the steering committee. I also pretended to

<p>15. MICHAEL MEEKS
&quot;
Lots of experience of Gnome both technically and relationally, I
continue to promote Gnome widely at conferences and to companies.
We must finance and encourage small interest group meetings as
well as GUADEC to increase real contact time.
We need to bifurcate the project - the core environment and
the applications built on top of it, so we can release core
improvements more quickly, with a stable API, yet rapidly innovate in
the applications.

<p>16. FEDERICO MENA-QUINTERO
&quot;
I'd like to see the GNOME hackers focus more on the desktop and,
in particular, the user experience now that the GNOME 2.0 platform is
almost complete.
I am a co-founder of the GNOME project, and prior to that I was the
maintainer of the GIMP. I worked at Red Hat Advanced Development Labs
(RHAD Labs) for a year and a half, and have been working for Ximian
since January 2000 on the Evolution Calendar.

<p>17. TIM NEY
&quot;
I've presented GNOME to government officials on several continents;
built public awareness of GNOME around the world through the media,
seminars and trade shows; secured funding, hardware and services
to support GNOME. I see 2002 as the year GNOME reaches beyond the
hacker community and to schools, corporations and governments.
My contribution is to build bridges, develop strategy, policy and
projects that are inclusive and appeal to a wider geography of
developers and users.

<p>18. BASTIEN NOCERA
&quot;
I'm a relative newcomer to the Gnome world as a programmer, with my main
interests in multimedia, all ease-of-use concerns (accessibility
included), and portability. I've never run for any elections on such a
Board, but I have some experience in strongly opinionated discussions
(with politics, and not hackers ;), and being French, I have a big mouth
as well. Hmm, couple of words to go... I like bitter ale.

</p>
<p>19. HAVOC PENNINGTON
&quot;
I have several years of experience with GNOME, and want to help ensure
continuity between the current board and the new one. My main goal on
the board is to build up GNOME as a self-sufficient and long-term
organization with solid infrastructure for keeping things running
smoothly. I work on GTK+, GConf, packaging GNOME for Red Hat, and
various less important projects.

<p>20. CHRIS PHELPS
&quot;
GNOME is the smoothest desktop I've ever used, and I intend to do
anything and everything I can to keep our development rolling. My
personal peeve is that GNOME is an awesome development environment
without a respectable IDE. I intend to work on this to make GNOME more
attractive to all kinds of developers. Yeah, that's about it...

My experience ranges from developing on Guile to numerous other
contributions including technical reviews for Gtk+ and GNOME related
books. I have been hacking in GNOME since the first years of the
project. I have attended many conferences as a promoter of Free Software
and GNOME. My main goal is to seek that GNOME will turn into a feasible
solution against proprietary software turning into a powerful stable API
that will be available for everyone.

</p>
<p>22. RICHARD STALLMAN
&quot;
I've been working for GNOME since years before there was a GNOME. In
1983, while formulating plans for the GNU operating system, I decided
it should include a window system. After two desktop initiatives that
didn't pan out, I found Miguel, who launched our third desktop
project--GNOME. As president of the Free Software Foundation and Chief
GNUisance of the GNU Project, I have had years of experience working with
contributors both individual and corporate.

<p>23. ANDY TAI
&quot;
I have been a strong supporter for the GNU Project and
a long time observer of the GNOME Project. I maintains
the advocacy site free-soft.org and the GUI Toolkit
and Framework Page, the definite reference for GUI
toolkits on the Internet. I understand the major
weakness of the GNOME architecture at this stage. If
I am elected, the first thing I will push is to merge
gnome-specific widgets into gtk+, so there are less
number of libraries to link against :-)

&quot;
I am French, long time Gnomer and Linux addict, maintainer of
libxml, libxslt and rpmfind. I served on the Gnome Board for last
year and I am used to non-profit organizations and the negotiation
needed to reach consensus in a group. I will focus 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. Affiliation Red Hat.

<p>25. JEFF WAUGH
&quot;
We need to improve the project's outreach, both within the Free Software
community and outside it, through documentation, publicity, and making
good information easy to get to. Some work on infrastructure can make
other tasks and goals easier, such as contributing and releasing. We need
more GNOME love and better cooperation. All of this, openly and
transparently, without interrupting our awesome hacker's hacking time! I'm
wacky enough to believe we can do it, too. :)

<title>GNOME Foundation Election Rules</title>

<body>
<h1>GNOME Foundation Election Rules &amp; Timeline</h2>
<h2>Election Rules</h2>
<ol>
<li>
See the <a href="../../about/charter/">GNOME Foundation charter</a> for
general rules.
</li>
<li>
There are 11 board slots that are to be filled during this election.
</li>
<li>
Members of the GNOME Foundation as of November 8, 2001 are eligible to
vote in the election. Anyone who has made a contribution to GNOME can
apply for membership by completing the <a
href="../../membership/application.php">application</a>.
</li>
<li>
Any eligible voter is eligible to be elected to the Board of Directors.
To announce your candidacy, send a message to
foundation-announce@gnome.org with your full name, e-mail, corporate
affiliation (if any), and a description of your reasons for wanting to
serve as a director. Candidacies must be announced prior to November
8, 2001, 23:59 UTC.
</li>
<li>
All candidates should mail a summary of their candicacy announcement
(see previous rule) to elections@gnome.org. Summaries should be no more
than 75 words of continuous text (i.e. no bullet lists or multiple
paragraphs) and must be received by the nomination deadline given
above. A compilation of the summaries will be mailed to all registered
voters several days prior to the election.
</li>
<li>
All discussion related to the election should be held on
foundation-list@gnome.org. Members are invited to ask questions of one
or all candidates on that list.
</li>
<li>
Ballots will be sent via e-mail to all eligible voters on November 20,
2001, and must be returned by November 27, 2001, 23:59 UTC (18:59 EST).
Full instructions will be included in the ballot.
</li>
<li>
Ballots will be held confidential during the election, but an archive
of all submitted ballots will be made publicly accessible at its
conclusion.
</li>
<li>
The Elections Committe is responsible for counting the ballots, after
taking appropriate action to fix misformatted ballots.
</li>
<li>
The 11 candidates who receive the most votes will be elected, except
that no more than four individuals affiliated with any one corporation
may be elected. Should more than four of the top eleven vote-getters be
affiliated with the same company, only the four with the most votes
will be considered elected. For a full definition of corporate
affiliation, see the GNOME Foundation Charter.
</li>
<li>
In the event of a tie for the final slot on the board, the Elections
Committee will schedule a run-off election as soon as possible.
</li>
<li>
The Elections Committee will announce preliminary results as soon as
possible after the election closes, along with instructions on how to
access the ballot archive and how to independently verify the vote
count.
</li>
<li>
Any eligible voter may challenge the preliminary results by e-mailing
elections@gnome.org prior to December 4, 2001. The decision of the
Elections Committee as to any challenge shall be final. Once any
challenges have been resolved, the Elections Committee shall announce
the final results.
</li>
<li>
Any questions regarding these procedures should be directed to the
Elections Committee by e-mail to elections@gnome.org. The committee
shall have the power to make any necessary changes or clarifications to
these rules at any point during the election.
</li>
</ol>

<h1>2001 Election Verification</h1>
<p>
To run the vote counting scripts, you need to perform several
steps:
</p>
<p>
First, obtain copies of the <a
href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/vote/2001-November.txt.gz"> ballot
archive</a> (referred to below as 2001-November.txt), the <a
href="registered-voters.txt"> membership list</a>
(registered-voters.txt), and the two voting scripts, <a
href="list-addresses.py">list-addresses.py</a> and <a
href="vote-counter.py">vote-counter.py</a>
</p>
<p>
Then, extract the valid voting addresses from the membership list:
</p>
<pre>$ python list-addresses.py registered-voters.txt &gt; addresses.txt</pre>
<p>
Next, run the vote counter script; it's probably best to save the results
to a file (they are long):
</p>
<pre>$ python vote-counter.py 2001-November.txt gnome-foundation-secret-cXjoS6521 addresses.txt &gt; results.txt</pre>
<p>
The results should be in results.txt. A list of errors will be
generated at the top of the output, but note that many of those errors
will represent problems which are fixed later in the archive
(manifested by the voter having a counted ballot later in the
results). The final tallies will be at the bottom.
</p>
<p>
To exactly replicate the posted results, you should apply this <a
href="vote-archives.diff">diff file</a>, which represents the
votetakers' changes to the voting archive to fix malformatted ballots to
reflect the evident intent of the voters.
</p>

<h1>Candidates for 2002 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@gnome.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
<a href="../../">GNOME Foundation Web Site</a>.
</p>
<p>
If you have any questions, please send them to either
foundation-list@gnome.org or to us at elections@gnome.org.

<h2>Candidates for the GNOME Foundation Board of Directors</h2>
<p>1. MARTIN SEVIOR<br />
&quot;
Now that the push for corporate desktop is on in earnest I believe I can
help the GNOME community of volunteer hackers feel empowered by
providing a genuinely independent voice on the Board. I can do this
because I have no financial stake in any company. I contribute to
AbiWord and GNOME for the love of hacking and the desire to be part of
the project to make the World's best desktop.
&quot;<br />
Affiliation: University of Melbourne.<br />

</p>
<p>2. RICHARD STALLMAN<br />
&quot;
I've been working for GNOME since years before there was a GNOME. In
1983, while formulating plans for the GNU operating system, I decided
it should include a window system. After two desktop initiatives that
didn't pan out, I found Miguel, who launched our third desktop
project--GNOME.
<br />
As president of the Free Software Foundation and Chief GNUisance of
the GNU Project, I have had years of experience working with
contributors both individual and corporate.
&quot;<br />
Affiliation: Free Software Foundation.<br />

</p>
<p>3. MIGUEL DE ICAZA<br />
&quot;
Have been an active contributor to the free software movement
since 1992.
<br />
Started the GNOME project when various freedom issues arised
that would threaten the future of a fully free system.
<br />
I am one of the founders of Ximian, one of the GNOME
companies, where we employ around 40 GNOME hackers that
develop free software.
<br />
Have been actively involved for the past year in the
development of Mono and the Gtk bindings for C#.

</p>
<p>4. BILL HANEMAN<br />
&quot;
I am active not only in the accessibility project work,
but also am actively working with the groups doing Mozilla,
OpenOffice, and Java integration with GNOME. My goals for GNOME:
a great developer platform, a complete user desktop environment
that is not only free but fully accessible to everyone.
I am a also Sun Microsystems employee, but would serve as an
"individual contributor" and always keep the "big picture" for GNOME
paramount.
&quot;<br />
Affiliation: Sun Microsystems.<br />

</p>
<p>5. MIKE NEWMAN<br />
&quot;
I'm standing as an independant, experienced committee worker with the
international and democratic interests of GNOME as my prime concerns,
along with transparent and accessible board activity. Having been
involved in GNOME for two years working with the membership committee,
and with a great deal of experience in similar roles I feel I have a
wide view of GNOME's goals and the capabilities and time to serve as an
effective board member.

<p>7. BASTIEN NOCERA<br />
&quot;
I've been a GNOME developer for more than 2 years now, starting as an
independant application developer, and finding myself more and more
involved in work on the core desktop.
<br />
I have never before been part of such a board, but I understand the
requisites for such a position, and will do everything to represent
the people voting for me.

Have done a reasonable amount of API documentation, along with writing a few
standalone documents aimed at helping developers use GNOME more easily. I am
interested in seeing GNOME be pitched as viable desktop platform to developers
and would like to see more events such as Sun's developer courses and the
tutorials planned for next year's GUADEC. Experience serving on committees
both at state and national level.

- Pushing for closer integration with other parts of the desktop;
OpenOffice particularly.
<br />
- Ensuring that Gnome stays a Meritocracy
<br />
- Keeping our vision wider than a file manager and control panel, and
on a complete Free software desktop.
<br />
- Ensuring the hackers make the coding / code inclusion decisions, the
artists make the art / art inclusion decisions, the UI team decide
the UI, the i18n team in charge of i18n, and the release team
co-ordinating releases.

<p>10. DANIEL VEILLARD<br />
&quot;
I am French, long time Gnomer and Linux addict, maintainer of
libxml, libxslt and rpmfind. I served on the Gnome Board for two
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 the foundation to
get acceptance by program developpers is the next challenge of the Board.

&quot;
I am passionate about GNOME and Free Software, and have committed a large
amount of my time and energy to helping our exceptional hackers do their
magic. This year my primary contribution to GNOME was leadership of the
Release Team to help our hackers pull off the amazing GNOME 2.0 release.
I will work to build upon GNOME's contributor base, maintain our casual,
personal community, ensure a transparently operated Foundation, and to
promote our project and achievements aggressively.

<p>13. JIM GETTYS<br />
&quot;
I'm announcing myself as a candidate for the 2002 elections of the
GNOME Foundation board of directors.
<br />
The largest value I bring to Gnome is one of perspective to the operation
of a number of different styles of organizations. Specifically, GNOME
needs to continue to be open to contributions of all sorts, whether code,
or translations, or web work, to UI design and graphics, to name a few.
<br />
While I don't currently write Gnome code itself, I do hack on the X Window
System, as I have for a long time; most recently on the RandR extension.
I've been on the Gnome board the last two years.

</p>
<p>15. NAT FRIEDMAN<br />
&quot;
To date, the GNOME foundation has failed to be of any substantial
benefit to the GNOME project. We are, however, reaching a level of
momentum and organization at which the foundation can have a big
impact. What we lack is resources: funds to subsidize in-person events,
to fly people to conferences, to support our hardware and
infrastructural needs, to promote the project, and to provide equipment
to hackers who need it. I served as co-chair of the board this last
year and organized the 90-person Boston GNOME Summit in July. If
elected this year, my focus will be on ensuring that GNOME has the
resources it needs to succeed.

&quot;
I started working on GNOME in 1997, and have been actively a part of it
since. I initially wrote the AisleRiot solitaire program which appeared
in GNOME 0.13. Since then, I've worked on several GNOME projects
including GTK+, control-center, gmc, nautilus, gnome-libs, and most
importantly, gfloppy. I also do a number of sysadmin tasks, and help
with the running of the gnome.org boxes. I am a current member of the
board.

<p>18. TIM NEY<br />
&quot;
GNOME Foundation needs the combined efforts of hackers and non-hackers.
Since I first worked with GNOME four years ago, getting machines and
setting up booths and presentations, the developer community and user
base has grown tremendously.
<br />
My contribution is to build bridges and obtain resources needed for
GNOME to successfully continue its growth. Working with the GNOME
community is a great experience and I'd like to continue pushing for
more adoption by governments and schools.

</p>
<p>19. LUIS VILLA<br />
&quot;
I want to get involved with the board for three reasons. First, to
improve communications between the board and /all/ volunteers,
including, but not just, hackers. Second, to increase the board's
activity level in areas where the board is GNOME's most effective organ,
like marketing, infrastructure, and fundraising. Finally, to ensure that
the board does not interfere with more direct community leadership in
areas where that leadership is already providing effective guidance.

I, Amy Kahn, am running for election for the Gnome Foundation Board on the
following platform:
<br />
I intend to establish better and more accessible usability standards in
for the future of the GNOME desktop and related applications. I plan to do
this by using my experience and expertise in the usability field,
researching the way users do their jobs and providing that data to the
hacker community, providing a forum for usability gurus and hackers to
communicate, and helping said persons to organize themselves so a real
review process can happen.

<p>21. MARTIN BAULIG<br />
&quot;
I've been hacking on GNOME almost since its early beginnings. However,
about a year ago I took a longer break to concentrate more on
university.
<br />
This spring, I became a Mono hacker and since then, I've been hacking on
the compiler and the new Mono Debugger.
<br />
As an European guy and Mono hacker, my main focus is helping GNOME
moving forward in Europe and integrating GNOME and Mono nicely so that
people can quickly and easily design their coolest GNOME apps with Mono.

<p>22. SRI RAMKRISHNA<br />
&quot;
I'm running for the GNOME Foundation board in order to help GNOME and in
the process better myself by making GNOME problems, my problems.
While I'm not a serious coder I can code; I think my talents really lie in
facilitating and attacking problems from a high level. I would like to
help the GNOME project grow further by encouraging the use of GEP, help
get documentation complete, and establish more desktop standards. I've
had experience in leading a diverse engineering team, worked on projects
that spanned many physical locations, and had some management experience.
All of which requires critical thinking and planning. Thanks.

</p>
<p>23. FEDERICO MENA QUINTERO<br />
&quot;
We lack complete developer's documentation for our 2.0 platform. The
documentation I have written in the past has been useful to people, so I
want to work with the different developers of GNOME libraries to ensure
that their code has proper documentation. Also, I want to help in
coordination between the GNOME and OpenOffice.org teams --- OO.o needs
to integrate well into the GNOME environment, and they may also be able
to use some of our cool technologies to avoid duplicated work.

<title>GNOME Foundation 2002 Election Verification</title>

<h1>Election Verification</h1>
<p>
To run the vote counting scripts, you need several files:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
The votes archives for <a
href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/vote/2002-November.txt.gz">
November</a> and <a
href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/vote/2002-December.txt.gz">December</a>
</li>
<li>
The list of <a href="registered-voters.txt">registered voters</a>
</li>
<li>
The script to <a href="list-addresses.py">generate the addresses of the
voters</a>
</li>
<li>
The script to <a href="vote-counter.py">count the votes</a>
</li>
<li>
The <a href="vote-archives.diff">diff file</a> that we applied to the
vote archives
</li>
</ul>
<p>
Please note that you need python to run the scripts.
</p>
<h2>Running the scripts</h2>
<p>
Here are the steps to obtain the results:
<pre>$ gunzip 2002-November.txt.gz 2002-December.txt.gz</pre>
<pre>$ cat 2002-November.txt 2002-December.txt &gt; vote-archives.txt</pre>
<pre>$ python list-addresses.py registered-voters.txt &gt; addresses.txt</pre>
<pre>$ python vote-counter.py vote-archives.txt dontforgettovote addresses.txt &gt; results.txt</pre>
</p>
<p>
The results should be in results.txt. A list of errors will be generated
at the top of the output, but note that many of those errors will
represent problems which are fixed later in the archive (manifested by
the voter having a counted ballot later in the results). The final
tallies will be at the bottom.
</p>
<p>
If you want to replicate the posted results, you have to apply the diff
file before running the scripts:
<pre>$ diff -p0 &lt; vote-archives.diff</pre>
</p>

<h1>GNOME Foundation Election Rules &amp; Timeline</h1>
<h2>Election Rules</h2>
<ol>
<li>
See the <a href="../../about/charter/">GNOME Foundation charter</a> for
general rules.
</li>
<li>
There are 11 board slots that are to be filled during this election.
</li>
<li>
Members of the GNOME Foundation as of November 1, 2003 are eligible to
vote in the election. Anyone who has made a contribution to GNOME can
apply for membership by completing the <a
href="../../membership/application.php">application</a>.
</li>
<li>
Any eligible voter is eligible to be elected to the Board of Directors.
To announce your candidacy, send a message to
foundation-announce@gnome.org with your full name, e-mail, corporate
affiliation (if any), and a description of your reasons for wanting to
serve as a director. Candidacies must be announced prior to November 7,
2003, 23:59 UTC.
</li>
<li>
All candidates should mail a summary of their candicacy announcement
(see previous rule) to elections@gnome.org. Summaries should be no more
than 75 words of continuous text (i.e. no bullet lists or multiple
paragraphs) and must be received by the nomination deadline given above.
A compilation of the summaries will be mailed to all registered voters
several days prior to the election.
</li>
<li>
All discussion related to the election should be held on
foundation-list@gnome.org. Members are invited to ask questions to one
or all candidates on that list.
</li>
<li>
Ballots will be sent via e-mail to all eligible voters on November 21,
2003, and must be returned by December 5, 2003, 23:59 UTC (18:59 EST).
Full instructions will be included in the ballot.
</li>
<li>
Ballots will be held confidential during the election, but an archive of
all submitted ballots will be made publicly accessible at its
conclusion.
</li>
<li>
The Elections Committee is responsible for counting the ballots, after
taking appropriate action to fix misformatted ballots.
</li>
<li>
The 11 candidates who receive the most votes will be elected, except
that no more than four individuals affiliated with any one corporation
may be elected. Should more than four of the top eleven vote-getters be
affiliated with the same company, only the four with the most votes will
be considered elected. For a full definition of corporate affiliation,
see the GNOME Foundation Charter.
</li>
<li>
In the event of a tie for the final slot on the board, the Elections
Committee will schedule a run-off election as soon as possible.
</li>
<li>
The Elections Committee will announce preliminary results as soon as
possible after the election closes, along with instructions on how to
access the ballot archive and how to independently verify the vote
count.
</li>
<li>
Any eligible voter may challenge the preliminary results by e-mailing
elections@gnome.org prior to December 19, 2003. The decision of the
Elections Committee as to any challenge shall be final. Once any
challenges have been resolved, the Elections Committee shall announce
the final results.
</li>
<li>
Any questions regarding these procedures should be directed to the
Elections Committee by e-mail to elections@gnome.org. The committee
shall have the power to make any necessary changes or clarifications to
these rules at any point during the election.
