What a task! Thanks for joining GNOME, surely you'll meet the goal :).

Sorry to see you leave Behdad.  You have been a machine on the board.  Paul
has his work cut out to fill your shoes but knowing Paul and the amount of
energy he has put into GNOME I have no doubt he is up to the challenge.  I'm
looking forward to the continuing good works coming out of the Board.

He's also a honest-to-goodness documentation team hero.

Congratulations Paul.  I know you'll rock on the board.
And thanks Behdad for all your hard work.

Stepping down from the board

[Behdad Esfahbod]

Hi,

When I decided to run for the foundation board in 2006, many of the old timers
where not running again and there was the feeling that new people are needed
on the board.  The board work has been very educational and rewarding for me,
but given other engagements and all the new, capable, people on the board this
year, I think it's time for me to step down so I can focus on hacking.

The board has decided to appoint Paul Culter to take the seat.  Paul has been
doing wonders on the marketing team, GNOME Journal, and the sysadmin team.
I'm sure this opportunity gives him more ways to contribute to GNOME even more.

Cheers,
behdad

New foundation member introduction - This time: Nils-Christoph Fiedler, Low German translator

[Nils-Christoph Fiedler]

Hi there!

According to the discussion on new foundation members introduction in
february
(http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/2010-February/msg00027.html & 
follow-ups) and despite I agree with Vincent Untz's last statement on this 
issue, I would kindly introduce myself to those who are interested in :-)
My name is Nils-Christoph Fiedler and I am very proud to became a
foundation member a few days ago. I translate GNOME (and other software
on Launchpad & translationproject) into Low German and also coordinate
some of those teams since summer 2009.
Low German is spoken by about 10.000.000 people worldwide and for a few
years now accepted as an official minority's language by the European
Charta and the Federal Republic of Germany.
My ambition in starting to translate GNOME into Low German was and is,
to spread the language and also make GNOME competitive with KDE within
the struggle for suitable desktops to teach young pupils from northern
Germany the Low German language. 
You can find more information about me and the project here:

http://live.gnome.org/Nils-ChristophFiedler
http://l10n.gnome.org/teams/nds
http://nds.sourceforge.net

If there is any foundation member out there, that also speaks Low German
and is interested in joining the translations, he or she is most
welcome!

Kind regards from Germany,
Nils
