Dear members & Board of Directors of The Document Foundation, Who I am: I'm Shinji Enoki. I live in Nishinomiya, Japan. As a freelance, I also work on a support business for LibreOffice.
I started in 2008, OpenOffice.org era. I was the QA Coordinator for the OpenOffice.org Japanese Project. And I joined in the found of the LibreOffice Japanese team. My main activity is community organizing for LibreOffice Japanese community and community marketing such as event organizing in Japan. I have provided the LibreOffice internship program to some of the people who have been studying from Africa to Japan for the last three years. In some cases, my support was not enough, but some people became TDF members. Since 2006, I have been a volunteer staff of KOF, the largest open-source and IT community event in the Kansai area of Japan. Since 2011, I have been a volunteer staff of the Japan UNIX Society, which is one of the oldest communities in Japan. Since 2006, I sometimes organize meetups by the Linux user group "LILO" in Kansai. Why I'm candidate to the MC: TDF supports the LibreOffice community, I think it's important. I would like to play a part in the smooth running of TDF membership. Also, I think strengthening TDF membership may help to make the community more active. Through MC activities, I want to strengthen the relationships between LibreOffice contributors and find a way to support new members. As a frequent join of Japanese and Asian Open Souce events and supporting LibreOffice internships, I have many opportunities to meet LibreOffice contributors, other OSS contributors, and new contributors. For me, it's relatively easy to invite TDF members and LibreOffice activities. Of course, it's not as easy as it used to be due to the influence of COVID-19, but I think there is something I can do online. -- # -- Full name: Shinji Enoki Email address: [email protected] Affiliation: Independent I and iCraft Corp. are working together to develop a LibreOffice support business in Japan. And iCraft and Collabora are business partners. I and iCraft are on an equal footing and are not unilaterally bound by decision making. And I always make decisions that prioritize community interests. I will provide information on all future changes as soon as possible. My 75 words official candidacy statement: Through MC activities, I would like to play a part in the smooth running of TDF membership. I would like to use my various relationships to invite new members to join TDF members. Also, I want to find a way to support new members. For example, I think it may be possible to update the onboarding process.
