[board-discuss] Candidacy for BoD

[Daniel A. Rodriguez]

Hello, everybody,

I have been working voluntarily with TDF since January 2011 and I am a
member since 2013. Whenever possible I try to evangelize regarding the
advantages of adopting the ODF standard and LibreOffice as an office
suite.
Considering the number of people living in this region of the world, I
consider the need to add more volunteers to the community and,
eventually, more members to the foundation to be a continuous effort.
A significant weakness has to do with the language barrier as the
number of English speakers in this part of the continent is relatively
low. For this reason, I translate and publish on the Hispanic blog
press releases, interviews and articles that help raise awareness of
the strategic importance of adopting free tools and open standards.
I work in a high school with technical orientation all day. I live in
Misiones, Argentina (northeast of the country), an small province
between Paraguay and Brazil.
I'm averaging the 40's, father of two, a boy and a girl, and live and
I've been living in a couple for almost 20 years.

Full name: Daniel Armando Rodriguez

Affiliation: None

Declaration of candidacy:
If I am elected as a member of the Board of Directors, my goal is to
get more people involved in the project on a regular basis. I pledge
to continue to do my best for the benefit of the project and to work
hard to make the regional conference a recognized event.



Greetings

[board-discuss] Candidacy for BoD election: Eike Rathke

[Eike Rathke]

Hello dear members,

I'm currently a Deputy of the Board of Directors of The Document
Foundation and I candidate again for another term on the board.

My name is Eike Rathke, I live in Hamburg, Germany, and I work full time
on LibreOffice, employed by Red Hat, Inc.

Being a code developer (or hacker by heart..) I'm mainly engaged in the
areas of the Calc spreadsheet core engine, internationalization and
locale data; some may know my nick erAck on IRC. I have been active in
the LibreOffice project since 2011 and was in the TDF Membership
Committee from 2012 to 2013, and from 2013 to 2015 a Deputy of the Board
of Directors. My traces with the code and project go back to the very
beginning of OOo when I was with Sun Microsystems and even earlier when
I worked for Star Division on StarOffice. I'm also an ardent supporter
of Free Software in general.

In the TDF board I see my responsibility to continue the excellent work
the board has achieved so far and further grow the foundation and
support its purposes and provide LibreOffice the home it deserves as
a project, code base and community of different cultures. Speaking of
cultures, I hope the board will represent a balanced mix of aspects of
the LibreOffice project, not only across regions but also across
different activity fields such as engineering, design, quality
assurance, marketing and administration. This to ensure that the
foundation and its projects are seen as a place of professionalism
worth to invest in and work with.

~75 words candidacy text:

I, Eike Rathke, candidate for a seat on the Board of Directors of The
Document Foundation. I am a LibreOffice core code contributor, working
full time on the code base employed by Red Hat, Inc. I have been around
with the project and TDF since 2011. I want TDF to grow and continue to
be a prosperous community that creates and maintains the framework and
conditions for a successful LibreOffice development in all its aspects.


Regards
  Eike
