+ <h1>Candidates for the GNOME Foundation 2011 Elections</h1>
+
+ <p>
+ Below you will find a list of candidates who are running for the
+ GNOME Foundation Board of Directors. A short summary statement from
+ each candidate and a link to their full candidacy announcement is
+ provided to help you learn more about them. We encourage all voters
+ to read the full candidacy statements and related discussions on
+ <a href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/";>foundation-list@gnome.org</a>.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ When deciding who you should vote for, please carefully consider
+ the various tasks the Board of Directors must perform. This
+ <a href="../overview.html">overview</a> may be helpful. Keep in mind that
+ the board will make a number of important decisions and will also have to
+ perform many tasks which require a significant amount of time and effort
+ and the ability to work and communicate with other people, companies, and
+ the media. The board of directors will represent GNOME to companies and
+ the world in a very real way. It is a good idea to strive for a
+ well-balanced board consisting of people with various backgrounds,
+ skills, and perspectives.

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.

+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Members of the GNOME Foundation as of
+ 2011-05-25

+GNOME Foundation Board election - voting instructions
+
+Dear <member>
+
+The election of the GNOME Foundation Board is now open.
+
+Voting will run from 2011-05-29 (today) until 2010-06-12, 23:59 UTC.
+
+To vote, please go to http://foundation.gnome.org/vote/vote.php?id=15
+and follow the instructions there.
+
+A list of candidates and their reasons for running is available at
+http://foundation.gnome.org/elections/2011/candidates.html
+
+When instructed to do so, enter the following details:
+
+ E-mail:
+ Vote token:
+
+The election has 4 steps - first, you must identify yourself using the
+voting token above. Then select your preferred candidates in order of
+preference. A third step will show you your choice, and ask you to
+confirm or return to the previous step. Finally, after confirming your
+choice, a unique identifier will be given to you which will allow you to
+verify after the election that your vote was counted correctly. To ensure
+anonymity, no link will be kept between this token and your identifiers,
+so please keep this token safe. Once you have voted, you will not be able
+to vote again.
+
+Thank you for your vote!
+
+Regards,
+ Tobias Mueller
+ on behalf of the GNOME Membership and Elections Commitee
