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.

hacker community and to schools, corporations and governments.

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.

I'm an ex-Eazel hacker from Australia who is living in California. I
have some experience running anarchic organizations like GNOME (on a
smaller scale) and a strong belief in Free Software.

&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.

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.

&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.

I do docs, bugs, and hassling developers. I don't code. I also make last
