Dear friends, I would like to announce my candidacy for a Board of Directors seat at The Document Foundation.
I am Jesús Corrius, 32 years old. I live in Barcelona, Spain. I have a degree in Audiovisual Communication (Cinema major) for the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona and another one in Software Engineering for the Universitat Oberta de Catalunya. I also studied at the Universities of Valencia and Vilnius. I am currently teaching Software Development in a Free / Open Source environment in an International Master for students in Spain and South America. I am also currently working as a freelance software developer for the largest telecommunications company in Asia, and the second-largest in the world. I am a member of the association Softcatalà, that promotes the use of the Catalan language in computers and Internet and I have been involved in the translation of many projects to Catalan like GNOME, Mozilla and, of course, OpenOffice.org and LibreOffice. I am also a proud owner of a plastic rooster named Papuga, which has become an unofficial mascot of the LibreOffice Project. I was involved in the OpenOffice.org project for 10 years, as Catalan was the first non Sun translation included in OpenOffice. At the time Softcatalà was hired by Sun Microsystems Spain to work in the translations and provide full localized builds for Linux, Windows and Solaris. My work started many months before OOo 1.0 was officially released. During all those years I did many different works, including: translations, customized builds, representing the project in conferences, marketing, working in the cross-compilation, fixing the Windows build, teaching Catalan to Fridrich, and organizing the OpenOffice.org Conference in Barcelona in 2007. I also was on the founders of TDF and the LibreOffice project. I can wear many hats and I think I can help The Document Foundations in many areas, from engineering to community development. I strongly believe in the project and its community. But, please, vote for the others, they are all a lot better than me! :) -- Jesús Corrius <je...@softcatala.org> Document Foundation founding member Mobile: +34 661 11 38 26 Skype: jcorrius | Twitter: @jcorrius -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to steering-discuss+h...@documentfoundation.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/steering-discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
