Re: [board-discuss] Running for a Board of Directors Seat at the TDF
Hello, and here my ~75 word candidate statement: 56 years old, living in Duisburg, Germany, no corporate affiliation. I worked with the community since 2002 in different areas, e.g. created and run the extensions/templates-site, gave presentations about our project and run boothes. I served on the BoD for the last four years and like to run for another two years, because I believe in our way of a stable independent meritocratic (open and transparent) organization for our office software project.

[board-discuss] Running for a Board of Directors Seat at the TDF
Hello, I'll run for a Board of Directors seat at the Document Foundation again. I'm Andreas Mantke, now 56 years old, and I live in Duisburg, North-Rhine-Westfalia, Germany. I'm unaffilated. This means I don't work for a company doing business around LibreOffice nor do I earn any money from my work for LibreOffice and TDF. I'm also not in a (commercial) partnership with a company doing business around LibreOffice or TDF. I'm employed by a social security institution in Düsseldorf and work there in the office with files and German regulations. I'm active in the community of LibreOffice and it's antecessor already since autumn 2002. Currently I administrate the LibreOffice extensions and templates as well as the ODFAuthors website, two sites running on the Content Management System Plone. I develop two new addons for the LibreOffice extensions and templates website to make it even better. Alongside my work with the ODFAuthors and the extensions and templates website I run boothes together with other project members, e.g. at Open Rhein Ruhr in Oberhausen, at the FOSDEM in Brussels, at the Cebit in Hannover and at the didacta in Stuttgart. I served as a deputy member and a member for the last nearly four years and worked together with the other board members to grow the community of and improve the setting to make it even more easy to contribute to LibreOffice. I want to continue this work, because our way of the development of an open source and free office software within an own independent meritocratic organization showed already success. I'm convinced that we should go further in this direction, stay with openess, transparency and diversity. Thus I'm a supporter of our transparent budget and financial reports as well as the way to tender projects and the like.

[board-discuss] Running for a Board of Directors Seat at the TDF
Hello, I'll run for a Board of Directors seat at the Document Foundation again. I'm Andreas Mantke, now 54 years old, and I live in Duisburg, North-Rhine-Westfalia, Germany. I work in the office of a social security institution called Deutsche Rentenversicherung Rheinland in Düsseldorf and had to deal with rules and regulations there. I worked since autumn 2002 for the community of LibreOffice and it's antecessor. I was responsible there for the documentation inside the German speaking lang-project for long time, wrote some free licensed howtos myself and started work on the portable version of the office suite. I worked also with the former extensions and templates site and upgraded the ODFAuthors site to a newer Plone environment. I gave also some presentations about the office suite and documentation at conferences and other events and run some boothes together with other project members. I'm with TDF and LibreOffice since it's announcement. I'm one of the founders of the German association Freies Office Deutschland e.V., but I have no special role there. Once LibreOffice was born I continued my work with presentations and running boothes together with other project members, e.g. at Open Rhein Ruhr in Oberhausen, at the Cebit in Hannover and at LinuxTag in Berlin. Alongside I worked on a new environment for the Authors documentation team and made a few easy commits to the source code of LibreOffice. I created the new LibreOffice extensions and template repository and the conference sites for the LibreOffice conferences in Berlin and Milan, which I maintain. In the last nearly two years I served on the BoD as a deputy member and worked together with the other board members to shape and grow up the foundation. I want to continue this work, because our way of the development of an open source and free office software within a own independent meritocratic organization showed already success and I'm convinced that we should go further in this direction with openness and transparency as we already did.
