Name: Diego Escalante Urrelo Mail: diegoe a-inside-a-circle gnome tiny-ink-spot org Nick: diegoe (how creative!) Blog: http://blogs.gnome.org/diegoe/ - http://diegoe.blogspot.com/ (if you are learning Spanish) Affiliation: SMB Training till end of May (not GNOME related), then, none.
Summary: I'm Diego, 21, from Lima - Perú. Some of you know me as a pesky bug triager, others as an even peskier (is that even a word?) patch submitter and others as a pesky almost spam mail source. I've been doing GNOME related stuff since 2006 although I really got more involved only in 2007, since then I've done code work for Epiphany and other modules, mostly fixes or small features (I did woohoo bar for Ephy! -firefox stole my idea, I swear). I'm deeply in love with GNOME as a project and community :-). Since December 2008 I've been serving in the Board replacing Jeff. Why Board? I feel that my last months in the Board have let me understand how it works, I'm sure I have done a good job and that I can do it even better for the following period. What did I do for this half period in the Board? Of course, the following wasn't made by me alone (those other six guys at the Board rock hard) but I feel this is were I was more involved: - Helped gather the annual user group reports and hand pick from the flood of pictures all around the web to go with such reports - Worked closely with Stormy to bootstrap the travel committee - Worked with Bruno to get the membership committee refreshed - Preparing a quickstart guide for new Board members (that you all new board members will receive) - Received feedback from various members about their areas of interest in GNOME and problems they had (luckily most of those got solved quickly) Why running again? Because I feel that I can do a better job now that I understand how Board works and because I have big enthusiasm for the stuff that we will see in the following months, I want to keep helping closely. Some stuff I would like to try to focus on now would be marketing in the 3.0 context, fundraising, keep working with the committees and a second edition of the GNOME LA Tour ;-).
