Name: Joanmarie Diggs E-mail: jdiggs <at> igalia.com Affiliation: Igalia, S.L. More about me: * http://gnomejournal.org/article/102 * http://www.linkedin.com/in/joanmariediggs
I have contributed to GNOME for the past six+ years as a developer and maintainer of the Orca screen reader and as a member of the GNOME Accessibility Team. This past year I have also served on the GNOME Foundation's Board. My first year as a Board member was in large part spent getting up to speed and participating in the routine duties of being on the Board. Doing so gave me the opportunity to look for where I can best lend a hand to help the Foundation and its members. My conclusion, and what I have since begun working on, is streamlining Foundation processes, my first target being our travel sponsorship procedures. Streamlining processes might strike you as an extremely dull area in which to work. But, as crazy as it might sound, I actually enjoy it. I personally hate inefficiencies: Life is too short, and the work we all do as Foundation members is too important, to lose time due to unnecessarily complex procedures and/or delayed communication. More efficient processes and more timely communication will allow us to focus on the work we are here to do, namely developing great Free software. Thanks and take care. --joanie _______________________________________________ foundation-announce mailing list [email protected] https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-announce
