Re: [steering-discuss] Re: [tdf-announce] BoD Election Candidates
Dear John, it looks like you are not a member of The Document Foundation. This is a pre-condition for applying for candidacy and for voting, as clearly enunciated in our community bylaws, that you can find here: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/CommunityBylaws. We are open to everyone, provided he shows a clear commitment to our community and contributes in a visible way over a period of several months. All this is clearly enunciated in our community bylaws. I hope this explains. Best regards. On 10/4/11 10:05 AM, John Rose wrote: I applied to be a candidate for a Director approximately 5 days ago.

Re: [steering-discuss] Candidacy for Board of Directors
Hi Olivier, I recognize you as an important person for the propagation of LibreOffice, specially in Brazil, for your performance inside and outside of TDF. You never refused to perform you role as a member from TDF, neither to promote LibreOffice in all possible instances. You got my vote, dude! ;-) Best, David 2011/9/29 Jomar Silva homem...@gmail.com Excellent, Olivier ! I truly believe that you are a key person in LO development and adoption in Brazil, and I support your candidacy. Best, Jomar -Original Message- From: Olivier Hallot olivier.hal...@documentfoundation.org Sender: olivier.hallot@gmail.com Date: Tue, 27 Sep 2011 11:08:12 To: steering-discuss@documentfoundation.org; disc...@documentfoundation.org Reply-To: steering-discuss@documentfoundation.org Subject: [steering-discuss] Candidacy for Board of Directors I thereby announce my candidacy for a Board of Directors seat at the Document Foundation My name is Olivier Hallot, I am a 53 old electronic engineer living in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. I am a former researcher and executive of IBM and Oracle. I am involved with open source software since 2001, where I started working into the translation of OpenOffice.org for Brazilian Portuguese. I am a former member of the OpenOffice.org Community Council and founder of The Document Foundation, as well as a member of the Steering Committee. Today I am working as consultant in a large LibreOffice deployment project in a Brazilian enterprise and I am advising several LibreOffice projects and initiatives in Brazil. My Document Foundation resumé Since early 2010 I got involved into the design and birth of the Document Foundation and I became member of the Steering Committee since the beginning. During the last 12 month I have been participating into the decisions of the SC and I worked to allocate as much Brazilian resources as I could to TDF. I still hold the position of translator for Brazilian Portuguese (a market place well above one million users) and I have contributed into several bug reports and features lists necessary for large enterprise deployments. I also did some bug fixing directly into the code, less than I would like to, but time is short and the matter is complex. I have used my professional connections to leverage LibreOffice and TDF in many public companies and in government and I am actively pursuing the goal to increase the number of contributors to LO development. Why am I applying for the BoD? After one year of existence, the enormous amount of TDF members energy and sharp professionalism lead us to great achievements. We rock. The road ahead however seems to be another challenge for the Foundation: Secure the positions already obtained and move to address the needs of the multiple faces of the community, from individuals to enterprises, while understanding the marketplaces forces that will drive TDF ahead. Of great importance, it will be necessary to design and implement the correct business model for the Foundation sustainability and LibreOffice evolution. These are fields I am willing to contribute with my industry experience, connections and personal energy. I am available for further questions.
