I've been hacking on stuff for 23 years now. Hi, I'm Paul and I've been contributing to GNOME since 2006 in
documentation, marketing and the web team. I have been on the Board for
the last two months having been asked to fill Behdad's term. I think the
GNOME Foundation is doing very well and the future is bright with GNOME
3.0 just around the corner. I want to help promote GNOME 3 and continue
to improve the communication between the Board, the GNOME communities
and GNOME's partners to help GNOME grow.

I'm 27 years old, and contributing GNOME since early 2000s. I've been
taking role of GNOME Turkish translation coordinator since 2004, and in
past served community at GNOME Membership and Elections committee for
three years. My last but not the least significant contribution was
organizing GUADEC 2008 which was held in Istanbul.
Since from the day one I've also been trying to contribute with
occasional bug reports and patches for various GNOME applications as
well.

Hello, I'm Seif Lotfy, I have been using GNOME since 2004
and participated starting 2007. I enjoy being part of the community and
enjoy spreading GNOME.
I initiated Zeitgeist and GNOME activity Journal, and dedicated most of
my time developing them and building a community around both. Now I would
love to start contributing in other parts of GNOME.

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