Summary: Hi, I'm Paul and I've been contributing to GNOME since 2006 in documentation, marketing and the web team. I have been on the Board for the last two months having been asked to fill Behdad's term. I think the GNOME Foundation is doing very well and the future is bright with GNOME 3.0 just around the corner. I want to help promote GNOME 3 and continue to improve the communication between the Board, the GNOME communities and GNOME's partners to help GNOME grow. Detail: I first started contributing to GNOME in 2006 working on the web team and later helping with GNOME Journal and the Annual Report. My primary passion is writing and improving user help. I maintain a few different project's user help and I am active in the GNOME Documentation team. I also help with GNOME Journal, Snowy (Tomboy Online), the marketing team and the Sysadmin team. When I was asked to join the Board a couple months ago, it was recommended that I look for someone to help replace me on the latter two teams, so if you want to help in doing that, please let me know. :) Why am I running? I have a passion for GNOME and I want to help see GNOME grow and be successful. While I may not have programming skills, I have project management and communication skills I think can be useful to the community by being on the Board. If elected, with GNOME 3.0 coming later this year, I would work to help market and promote GNOME 3.0. I would also like to help with communication within the community, including two way communication between the Board and the GNOME community as well as GNOME's downstream distribution partners and Advisory Board companies. Being on the Board the last two months has been a humbling and eye-opening experience and I would like to continue that work. Lastly, I just like to get stuff done and I believe I can help do that and invest the time needed. Thank you for considering me.
