    - I've been involved in GNOME since 2005 doing a variety of things. Mainly graphics and websites. I served on the Board of Directors between 2010 and 2011. If I get elected, I want to primary focus on two things. Fundraising and getting new developers. I want to make our fundraising campaigns really effective and make it as fun and rewarding to make donations to the GNOME project as possible. I'm happy that we have now been able to release the new, more effective Friends of GNOME site, but there is more we can do in this area. For new developers, I'm happy with the outcome of the GSOC and WOP's we've been running, and we should continue to do these, but I also want to make sure the inroads for potential contributors who visit our website is as clear as possible. I'm sure I will get very much tangled up in whatever pops up during the way for the board (as things tend to do), but I will keep these two items in mind as goals for the term. + + I am working in National Center for High-performance + Computing Taiwan(http://www.nchc.org.tw/en/).  I + have contributed to GNOME for the past 3  years. +  Promote open source, freeware and linux at school + in Taiwan. +

    - I have contributed to GNOME for the past five+ years as a developer and - maintainer of the Orca screen reader and as a member of the GNOME - Accessibility Team. For most of those years, my GNOME-related work had - to be done evenings, weekends, and holidays as a community contributor. - Joining Igalia in October 2011 has made it possible for GNOME - Accessibility to become part of my DayJob, which in turn has given me a - very precious commodity: spare time. I would like to spend some of that - time serving on the GNOME Foundation Board. + I have contributed to GNOME for the past six+ years + as a developer and maintainer of the Orca screen + reader and as a member of the GNOME Accessibility + Team. This past year I have also served on the GNOME + Foundation's Board.

    - If elected, I want to work to make our treasurer duties simpler and - more understandable, whether as the treasurer again or as an advisor - to a new treasurer. The treasurer role is inevitably difficult for - somebody without a background in accounting. We need to make sure we - can smoothly transition year to year, because handling GNOME's money - is one of the most important things the Foundation does. + + I have decided this year to continue to increase my + participation in GNOME.  I joined GNOME in 1997, + working on GNOME Summaries that led to the GNOME + Journal.  We expanded from a one man contributor to + a full 4-5 person team writing professional level + articles on GNOME. +

    - Currently, I spend nearly 50% of my working time on GNOME-related projects, thanks to Collabora. I also spend a lot of my time working on deploying Zeitgeist into some smaller projects like Gedit (the dashboard plugin), which greatly benefited from design collaboration with Hylke Bons and Garrett LeSage. +
    - Sometimes misunderstandings and miscommunication happen in the community, especially between different teams who may share similar goals but different viewpoints. This blurred vision was evident in mailing-lists over the past few weeks. (Thankfully Olav did a great job moderating the lists to not let it get too out-of-hand.) + I have experienced the difficulties that are + encountered by our local teams when organising + events and I agree with Joanie that the Foundation's + processes need to become more efficient. These + responsibilities need to be clarified and followed + to reduce friction and improve collaboration within + the GNOME community. + + Our existing processes are missing defined fallbacks + and resolution paths. When decisions become stuck or + blocked on, opportunities fall through and the + Foundation loses out when its members cannot attend + conferences and hackfests. +
