<h1>Candidates for the GNOME Foundation 2012 Elections</h1>
<p>
Below you will find a list of candidates who are running for the
GNOME Foundation Board of Directors. A short summary statement from
each candidate and a link to their full candidacy announcement is
provided to help you learn more about them. We encourage all voters
to read the full candidacy statements and related discussions on
<a href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/">foundation-list&#64;gnome&#46;org</a>.
</p>
<p>
When deciding who you should vote for, please carefully consider
the various tasks the Board of Directors must perform. This
<a href="../overview.html">overview</a> may be helpful. Keep in mind that
the board will make a number of important decisions and will also have to
perform many tasks which require a significant amount of time and effort
and the ability to work and communicate with other people, companies, and
the media. The board of directors will represent GNOME to companies and
the world in a very real way. It is a good idea to strive for a
well-balanced board consisting of people with various backgrounds,
skills, and perspectives.
</p>
<p>
Additional elections details can be found on the
<a href="../../">GNOME Foundation Web Site</a>.
</p>
<p>
If you have any questions, please send them to either

<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.

GNOME Foundation Board election - voting instructions
Dear <member>
The election of the GNOME Foundation Board is now open.
Voting will run from 2012-05-27 (today) until 2010-06-10, 23:59 UTC.
To vote, please go to http://foundation.gnome.org/vote/vote.php?id=16
and follow the instructions there.
A list of candidates and their reasons for running is available at
http://foundation.gnome.org/elections/2012/candidates.html
When instructed to do so, enter the following details:
E-mail:
Vote token:
The election has 4 steps - first, you must identify yourself using the
voting token above. Then select your preferred candidates in order of
preference. A third step will show you your choice, and ask you to
confirm or return to the previous step. Finally, after confirming your
choice, a unique identifier will be given to you which will allow you to
verify after the election that your vote was counted correctly. To ensure
anonymity, no link will be kept between this token and your identifiers,
so please keep this token safe. Once you have voted, you will not be able
to vote again.
Thank you for your vote!
Regards,
Tobias Mueller
on behalf of the GNOME Membership and Elections Commitee
