Hi everyone, my affiliation has changed to currently having no affiliation.
Best, Nuritzi Nuritzi Sanchez GNOME Foundation <https://www.gnome.org/foundation/> President, Board of Directors 2018-05-23 16:11 GMT-07:00 Nuritzi Sanchez <nuri...@gnome.org>: > > > > > > > > > *Name: Nuritzi SanchezEmail: nuri...@gnome.org > <nuri...@gnome.org>Corporate affiliation: EndlessHello Foundation members, > I'd like to announce my candidacy for a third term as a GNOME Foundation > Board member. As President and Chairperson of the Board for the last two > years, I have played an active role in setting the pace for the Board’s > work. For example, I suggested and pushed for a Foundation hackfest to > happen so that we could get together and create infrastructure to > streamline our decision process around various issues that often slow us > down in meetings. One of the many things we streamlined during our hackfest > in Berlin <https://nuritzis.com/2017/10/21/2017-gnome-foundation-hackfest/> > [1] is the budgeting and spending processes. As a Board member who actively > participates in the Engagement team, I also advocated for a larger budget > to support our community and increase our efforts to promote GNOME around > the world. The enablement of TransferWise as a payment option was also > something that I pushed, which allows more community members to receive > funds with fewer fees. This year, I also started to do more public speaking > about GNOME and worked on increasing engagement in more regions of the > world. As President, I was invited to represent the Foundation in a number > of conferences and events in Asia and Latin America, such as GNOME.Asia, > COSCon’17, and FLISoL in Bogotá. Since participating in those events, I > have acted as a bridge to try to bring global and regional teams together, > and to get some newcomers I met to become active members of GNOME. While we > have been able to increase our contributor base in traditionally less > represented locales this year, there is still a lot to be done to stimulate > growth in these areas. If elected, I’ll continue to advocate for policies > that support our growth and make participating in this awesome community > more accessible to all. Thanks for your consideration, and if elected, I > look forward to serving on the Board again!Best, NuritziIRC: nuritzi* > [1] https://nuritzis.com/2017/10/21/2017-gnome-foundation-hackfest/ > > -- > Nuritzi Sanchez > GNOME Foundation <https://www.gnome.org/foundation/> > President, Board of Directors > >
