+Hi, this Emily Chen. I participated in GNOME since 2006. Now I am continue working in GNOME community because I believe in GNOME. I worked on LDTP project in 2006, then participated in Google Summer of Code 2006 and 2007 on GNOME LDTP projects as mentor. In 2008, I started the GNOME.Asia and organized the GNOME.Asia Summit 2008 in China and GNOME.Asia Summit 2009 in Vietnam. Now I am working on the GNOME.Asia 2010, which will be host in Taiwan in August. Also, I start the Beijing GNOME Users Group in Beijing since 2008 Nov. Now Beijing GNOME Users Group is one of the most active organization in Beijing. I want to make GNOME grow in Beijing, China, and Asia, it is meaningful to promote GNOME to more people, especially in Asia, because I see many opportunity and good community here in Asian.

+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.
