Name: Shaun McCance Email: sha...@gnome.org Affiliation: Red Hat Foundation Members,
I'm announcing my candidacy for the board of directors. I'm a long-time GNOME developer and enthusiast, because I believe GNOME does important work in ensuring free software is usable for everybody. I spent ten years as the docs team lead. I've stepped down from that role, but I still maintain our docs tools and try to remain active. I work for Red Hat, though I do not work in the department that works on GNOME. I work on the Open Source and Standards team as the Community Documentation Liaison. Basically, my job is to build communities around documentation in various upstream open source projects. I served two terms on the board already, from 2011 to 2013. I'd like to serve again. The board does important work. It's not always glamorous, but board work is an important piece of the puzzle for maintaining a healthy ecosystem around GNOME. I think the activities of the current board have proven just how vital the board is to GNOME. It also showed just how overtaxed the board has become in the absence of an Executive Director. If elected, my first priority will be to bring a new Executive Director on board. I understand there are difficulties in hiring somebody new, as well as financial considerations. I'm willing to hunt down those yaks for a good clean shave. -- Shaun _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
