So I'd like to contribute in making it clear what the whole GNOME project is for 3rd parties. As my personal opinion, I agree completely on the GNOME OS idea, although we should really not forget other OSes (Solaris, *BSD, etc) that use GNOME or other systems (Meego, etc) that are interested in just using our platform. So, I will try to keep the focus on the GNOME OS idea (with GNOME Shell, to answer again Olav's question) but making sure this doesn't break our relationship with those other systems.

Rodrigo: can you explain how the GNOME project will benefit? Why is your approach better than the alternatives?

Candidacy: Rodrigo Moya
Name: Rodrigo Moya Email: rodr...@gnome.org Nick: rodrigo Blog: http://blogs.gnome.org/rodrigo Affiliation: Canonical Summary === I joined the GNOME project in 1998 and have since then worked on several projects (Evolution, GNOME-DB, Control Center, gnome-settings-daemon and others) both on my free time and while working for some GNOME-related companies (Ximian, Novell and Canonical now). Details === The main reason for my candidacy is the relationship between GNOME and companies (specifically my current employer), which I would like to improve, trying to get both sides of the problem fixed so that a healthy and cooperative relationship can be built to make GNOME rock more than what it's been rocking in all these years. Also, based on recent discussions, I would like to help define the message we give to 3rd parties about what GNOME is, so there is no confusion as to what those 3rd parties should expect from GNOME. Apart from that, I would like to help in spreading more the GNOME love, which I used to do a lot some years ago, when I was one of the most active persons in the GNOME Hispano group, but now with a more international scope. That is, I would like to help local groups get more people to become contributors to GNOME in whatever ways the Foundation can use to make that happen. As for my experience in this kind of role, it's not that much, but I've been part of the GNOME Hispano board since its creation, in 2003/2004, where, even though the big work there has always been done by other people (like Jose Angel Díaz and Chema Casanova), I've learnt a lot of things that might be helpful to my position in the Foundation Board if I get elected. If you are still wondering whether I would be a good fit for the board, just wanted to say that my 1st task if I get elected will be to increment everyone's salary :-) ___ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
