I'll be the first to admit that I've done less than I intended to do when I submitted my candidacy last year; I did stay as the secretary, and managed to get the role more under control after spending a year learning how to actually do it. :-) I have also been working with the GUADEC local teams, both in my role as chair of the papers committee for GUADEC 2013 and as a director of the Foundation. if I am re-elected, I plan to continue working in the administrivia of the board meetings: it's something that I actually enjoy doing, and I'm sure it frees up time for other directors as well; I want to keep interacting with the advisory board members (both during the official adboard meetings and "offline") so that we are always engaged in a meaningful conversation as to where GNOME is going, and what it needs to get there; and, finally, I want to help the GUADEC local teams interact with the Foundation's board — especially in the transition between the 2013 team and the 2014 one. hope this answers your question. ciao, Emmanuele. -- W: http://www.emmanuelebassi.name B: http://blogs.gnome.org/ebassi/ _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
