2003-10-07 Vincent Untz <vincent@vuntz.net> * index.html: put the dates in dd/mm/yyyy format instead of two or three different formats. * .htaccess: added so we can redirect people from the old pages to the new ones. I'd like to have a htaccess file which is moved to .htaccess when copying the website (so it is not hidden in CVS), but that'll be for later * membership-form.html: removed (we now use membership-form.php) * press.html * press/*: removed these because we now point to press releases on gnome.org. * advisory_board.html * board_of_directors-2000.html * board_of_directors-2001.html * board_of_directors.html * charter.html * directory.html * documentation.html * executive_director.html * faq-ln7.html * faq.html * index.html * membership-list.html * membership-policy.html * membership.html * organization.html * template.html: updated the links to the elections pages, and added the Fundraising links when it was missing. * announcement.html * ballot-summary-2000.html * election-2000.html * electionresults.html * electionrules-2000.html * final-vote-archive.diff * final_membership_list.txt * list-addresses.py * overview_2000.html * vote-counter.py * voters-2000.html: removed.

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

<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

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

|
skills, and perspectives.</P>

|
|
and other material at www.Perens.com to learn who I am and how I have
|
|
helped Free Software since 1987 and Unix since 1981. The board should
|
|
leave GNOME's technical direction to the developers. As a GNOME
|
|
Foundation director, I plan to concentrate on: Soliciting for
|
|
government and corporate grants to fund Free Software development,
|
|
_especially_documentation_. Building relationships between business
|
|
and Free Software. Public Relations and Publicity. Getting people to
|
|
release more code!" Full statement at

<P>26. LESLIE PROCTOR. "I oversaw PR for the GNOME launch in
|
|
1999. My efforts resulted in NY Times, Wired, Newsweek, etc.
|
|
articles. I've conducted media relations for GNOME at subsequent
|
|
conferences and ongoing, as needed. I coordinated the FSF/GNOME
|
|
booths at every LinuxWorld Expo, among others - on a shoestring
|
|
budget. I'm a senior resource executive at Alexander Ogilvy PR, a
|
|
top-tier agency. I offer strategic direction to account teams across
|
|
three different agencies. I can bring PR, marketing and
|
|
conferences/events expertise." Full statement at

<P>29. ARLO ROSE. "I'm the Human Interface lead for the Nautilus
|
|
project, and am in the process of forming a GNOME HI group that will
|
|
raise community and developer awareness of usability and visual
|
|
issues with GNOME projects. I'd like to have a seat on the board so I
|
|
can strengthen awareness for good human interface design, raise the
|
|
standards for the GNOME desktop look and feel, and act as the voice
|
|
for usability issues in our community." Affiliated with Eazel.

<P>30. JOE SHAW. "I have been involved in the GNOME community
|
|
from the start, contributing to several modules. I'm the maintainer
|
|
of Achtung and author of Helix's installer and updater. I'm outspoken
|
|
against corporate dominance of the foundation, but know they need to
|
|
be well-represented. I feel that the board needs a good
|
|
hacker/non-hacker mix. GNOME needs to become more aggressive with its
|
|
conference/show policies and GNOME 2.0 development needs to take hold
|
|
now." Affiliated with Helix Code. Full statement at

<P>31. MACIEJ STACHOWIAK. "While I have hacked on many free
|
|
software projects (most notably Nautilus, see
|
|
<A HREF="http://advogato.org/person/mjs">http://advogato.org/person/mjs</A>
|
|
for others), I think the strongest qualifications I have are
|
|
non-technical. First, I have a talent for making processes more
|
|
transparent, as with my work on GNOME 1.4 coordiation. Second, I am
|
|
good at communicating both inside and outside the project. Finally, I
|
|
believe in free software, openness and honesty, and I'm willing to
|
|
stand up to anyone for these beliefs." Affiliated with Eazel.

<P>32. OWEN TAYLOR. "As co-maintainer of GTK+ and the designer
|
|
of Pango, I think I'm in a good position to handle coordination of
|
|
GNOME with these important core technologies. I also have a strong
|
|
interest in language bindings and component technology, as
|
|
represented by the CORBA::ORBit Perl bindings for CORBA. If I am
|
|
elected to the board, I will continue to push GNOME in the areas of
|
|
internationalization and an easy-to-use development platform."

<P>33. DANIEL VEILLARD. "I am French, a long time Gnomer and

Linux addict, the maintainer of libxml and rpmfind. I work for W3C

and I am used to non-profit organizations and the negociations needed
|
|
to get a group to reach consensus. I will focuse on the reuse of
|
|
standards, internationalization and keeping trust relationship at an

|
individual level. I think those are needed to keep hacking on gnome

fun and getting acceptance in new communities." Affiliated with
