+I've been serving on board for 2.5 years now and have been holding the
+title of President of the Foundation and Chairman of the board for the
+current term.  Fortunately the experience is not as painful as it used
+to be, thanks to Stormy. I think we are in a very good shape on the
+organization side, but there's a storm coming (no pun), with all the
+GNOME 3 planning, messaging, marketing, etc. So I like to stay on board
+to help with it all.

+I'm Diego, 21, from Lima - Perú. Some of you know me as a pesky bug

+submitter and others as a pesky almost spam mail source.
+I've been doing GNOME related stuff since 2006 although I really got
+more involved only in 2007, since then I've done code work for Epiphany
+and other modules, mostly fixes or small features (I did woohoo bar for
+Ephy! -firefox stole my idea, I swear). I'm deeply in love with GNOME as
+a project and community :-).
+Since December 2008 I've been serving in the Board replacing Jeff.

+The GNOME Project has allowed me to take my first steps into the world
+of collaborative projects and long nights of translation sprints. Due
+to my open minded attitude, I have been able to get involved in many
+different projects and work with a great number of interesting people.
+
+My passion is in the community aspect of these projects and how to
+better integrate new comers and volunteers with the rest of the
+community. I am also extremely interested in how we, the open source
+community as a whole, can leverage this immense pool of ideas and
+projects, and use it to the benefit of all.
+
+If elected to the board, I will bring in my experience of building
+communities and guiding/enabling users to become more active in the
+GNOME Project. After all, the GNOME Project IS about people! I will
+also push to make accessibility a high priority for the project.
