Name: Oliver Propst Email: [email protected] Affiliation: None Dear foundation members I want to announce my candidacy for the GNOME Board of Directors.
I have been contributing as part of the Engagement Team since 2010, recently I have been involved with the GUADEC 2015 Gothenburg bid and the Annual Report. I think that free software never have more important then now and if we as a community can get together and do the necessary work the greatest future of GNOME lay ahead of us. I have two years of experience of being on the non-for profit FSCONS board (FSCONS, the free software conference in Gothenburg that Karen keynoted last year). More info about me (including occupation) can be found here [1]. In the upcoming year I like to continue explore growth/collaborations opportunities for the foundation and investigate the benefits of a possible WC3 membership [2]. I would also want to work for the Board to have a stronger and more public profile (especially in light of the current situation where we have no ED). 1 https://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/2014-April/msg00116.html 2 http://www.w3.org/ -- -mvh Oliver Propst _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
