I intend to carry on being a point of contact for developer relations,
and a technical advisor within the Board itself. I'm also the one asking
naive questions about US employment law and accountancy rules.

<blockquote>
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.

<blockquote>
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.

I am a Free Software enthusiast and GNOME activist for about 5 years now. I mainly worked in the Bugsquad and the Membership Committee.
Now, I want to do something new and help making GNOME a successful Free Software project.
I have experience with working with people, i.e. by organising events like a GNOME party, various booths at conferences or by hosting a (mid-size) conference at our university.
I want to improve the Bylaws and the visibility of Teams within GNOME.
I have been a GNOME contributor for the past 10
years, and served as secreatry on the board of
directors for the past two years.
I would love to continue serving as secretary on the
board; I want to help facilitating the
communications between teams, contributors, adboard
members, ISVs that wish to target GNOME, as well as
OSVs that wish to use GNOME as their platform of
choice for their products.

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.

<blockquote>
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.

I have been working on GNOME for the last five
years, as a developer of online-desktop and
gnome-shell and as a lead of our outreach efforts.
With the help of so many people in the community,
three and a half years ago I created the Outreach
Program for Women which enabled 49 women to do
internships with GNOME and significantly increased
participation of women in the community. This
program has grown to include internships with 18
Free Software organizations this summer.
