I am running for the board because I believe GNOME needs to reach out and get more people involved, not just in development of code. We are already really good at that and though there is always room for improvement there are areas that need a bit more push to get going. Areas such as marketing, art and outreach, while having been growing recently, need to be brought up and given more visibility within the community. I believe it is the boards job to identify areas where we need resources and to identify leaders and catalysts who can utilize those resources to build subprojects like gnome-love or the release team. It is also the boards job to help remove obstacles which hinder these subprojects. I believe I qualify for the position because of my experience within the GNOME community and in building bridges to other communities. I have been part of the release team for a year, been a GNOME representative to the LSB and and a GNOME ambassador to KDE as well as an adviser to the board for the OLPC project. -- John (J5) Palmieri <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
