Hello, I herewith nominate myself as a candidate for the TDF Board of Directors elections.
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 locales, and lately implemented the language tag support; 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 since 2012 from which I recently resigned to candidate for the board elections. 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. Been that much time around, LibreOffice to me is almost like a child that is now grown up and still evolving ;-) I'm an ardent supporter of Free Software, in the TDF board I see my responsibility to continue the excellent work the current board has achieved 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. Full name: Eike Rathke Email address: [email protected] Corporate affiliation: Red Hat, Inc. ~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.
