<h1>Candidates for the GNOME Foundation 2013 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="http://foundation.gnome.org">GNOME Foundation Web Site</a>.

<blockquote>
I have been part of GNOME in various roles since the early 2.x days
and I think it is time together volunteer for an organizational role. I have
already arranged 2 hackfests under GNOME and found that I enjoy the
work and that I have a talent for the required fundraising as well as
drumming up excitement. I have plenty of sparetime as I am retired on
medical grounds and I would love to dedicate some of it towards
dragging GNOME kicking and screaming into the 21th century. I have
plenty of ideas for how to raise funds and for where GNOME can (and
should) go in the future.

<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 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.

is one of the most important things the Foundation does.

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.)

Dear %(firstname)s %(lastname)s,
The election of the GNOME Foundation Board will soon be open.
Voting will run from 2013-05-26 (Sunday) until 2013-06-09, 23:59 UTC.
To vote, please go to http://vote.gnome.org/vote.php?id=17
and follow the instructions there.
A list of candidates and their reasons for running is available at
http://vote.gnome.org/2013/candidates.html
When instructed to do so, enter the following details:
E-mail: %(email)s
Vote token: %(token_or_last_renewed_on)s
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
