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.
