<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
foundation-list@gnome.org
(<A HREF="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/">http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/</A>).</P>
<P>When deciding who you should vote for, please carefully consider
the various tasks the Board of Directors must perform. This overview
(<A HREF="overview.html">http://foundation.gnome.org/overview.html</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>

The foundation could be doing more to help GNOME be more unified,
move faster, and have more visibility. Things I would like to see
include more focus on the desktop itself, more in-person events
and a coordinated GNOME Office.
I've been contributing to GNOME since 1998 and co-maintained
Bonobo for a while. I wrote the first draft of the foundation's
charter. I co-founded Ximian, and these days, I'm in charge of our
product development. &quot;

I'd like to continue to be on the board to help Gnome reach its potential.
I feel that we are about a year from having the ingredients to make open
source desktops viable for the mass market and would like to do what I
can to help make this happen. As part of this, I believe interoperability
is a key ingredient, and will work to encourage Gnome to invest in this
area.&quot;

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.

We must finance and encourage small interest group meetings as

the applications built on top of it, so we can release core
improvements more quickly, with a stable API, yet rapidly innovate in
the applications.

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.

weakness of the GNOME architecture at this stage. If
I am elected, the first thing I will push is to merge
gnome-specific widgets into gtk+, so there are less

We need to improve the project's outreach, both within the Free Software

good information easy to get to. Some work on infrastructure can make
other tasks and goals easier, such as contributing and releasing. We need
more GNOME love and better cooperation. All of this, openly and

wacky enough to believe we can do it, too. :)

The future is now, and that future is: Bowling Balls. Do you realize that
if GNOME starts making bowling balls, we stand to net profit
$11,000?! That's right, eleven big ones. Net profit, mind you.

Have been an active contributor to the free software movement since 1992.
Started the GNOME project when various freedom issues arose that would
threaten the future of a fully free system. I am one of the founders of
Ximian, one of the GNOME companies, where we employ around 40 GNOME hackers
that develop free software. &quot;

The foundation could be doing more to help GNOME be more unified,
move faster, and have more visibility. Things I would like to see
include more focus on the desktop itself, more in-person events
and a coordinated GNOME Office.
I've been contributing to GNOME since 1998 and co-maintained
Bonobo for a while. I wrote the first draft of the foundation's
charter. I co-founded Ximian, and these days, I'm in charge of our
product development. &quot;

I'd like to continue to be on the board to help Gnome reach its potential.
I feel that we are about a year from having the ingredients to make open
source desktops viable for the mass market and would like to do what I
can to help make this happen. As part of this, I believe interoperability
is a key ingredient, and will work to encourage Gnome to invest in this
area.&quot;

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.

Lots of experience of Gnome both technically and relationally, I

We must finance and encourage small interest group meetings as

We need to bifurcate the project - the core environment and
the applications built on top of it, so we can release core
improvements more quickly, with a stable API, yet rapidly innovate in
the applications.

We need to improve the project's outreach, both within the Free Software

good information easy to get to. Some work on infrastructure can make
other tasks and goals easier, such as contributing and releasing. We need
more GNOME love and better cooperation. All of this, openly and
