Summary ======= I've been actively involved in GNOME since, when I took over Yelp development and leadership of the documentation team. I've been the documentation guy ever since. I love GNOME, and I want to contribute in new ways. Details ======= GNOME 3 is getting us into new territory. We're beginning to define a complete operating system, rather than a bucket of parts. To push this further, we need to think about our supply chain. We need to talk more with distributors, not just the distros we know and love, but the hardware vendors who are putting devices in people's hands. If we're serious about GNOME on anything other than traditional desktop and laptop computers, we absolutely must partner with vendors. This is something I hope to work on if elected. I also think it's important that we have better partnerships with web content providers. We need more web integration, but at the same time, we need to continue to protect our users' freedoms. I enjoy reaching out to other projects and companies. It's a skill I've had to learn in freelancing. I can bring good ambassadorship and professional writing to the board, as well as an enthusiasm to help make GNOME even better. -- Shaun _______________________________________________ foundation-announce mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-announce
