+ <h1>Candidates for the GNOME Foundation 2013 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.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ Additional elections details can be found on the
+ <a href="http://foundation.gnome.org";>GNOME Foundation Web Site</a>.

+ dragging GNOME kicking and screaming into the 21th century. I have
+ plenty of ideas for how to raise funds and for where GNOME can (and

+ I've been involved in GNOME since 2005 doing a variety of things. Mainly graphics and
websites. I served on the Board of Directors between 2010 and 2011. If I get elected, I want to primary focus
on two things. Fundraising and getting new developers. I want to make our fundraising campaigns really
effective and make it as fun and rewarding to make donations to the GNOME project as possible. I'm happy that
we have now been able to release the new, more effective Friends of GNOME site, but there is more we can do
in this area. For new developers, I'm happy with the outcome of the GSOC and WOP's we've been running, and we
should continue to do these, but I also want to make sure the inroads for potential contributors who visit
our website is as clear as possible. I'm sure I will get very much tangled up in whatever pops up during the
way for the board (as things tend to do), but I will keep these two items in mind as goals for the term.

+ Currently, I spend nearly 50% of my working time on GNOME-related projects, thanks to
Collabora. I also spend a lot of my time working on deploying Zeitgeist into some smaller projects like Gedit
(the dashboard plugin), which greatly benefited from design collaboration with Hylke Bons and Garrett LeSage.
+
+ Sometimes misunderstandings and miscommunication happen in the community, especially between
different teams who may share similar goals but different viewpoints. This blurred vision was evident in
mailing-lists over the past few weeks. (Thankfully Olav did a great job moderating the lists to not let it
get too out-of-hand.)

+ <h1>Rules & Timeline for the GNOME Foundation 2013 Elections</h1>
+
+ <h2>Elections Rules</h2>
+
+ <ol>
+ <li>
+ See the <a
href="https://git.gnome.org/browse/foundation-web/tree/foundation.gnome.org/about/bylaws.rst";>GNOME
Foundation Bylaws</a> (<a href="http://www.gnome.org/foundation/governance/attachment/bylaws-2/";>PDF</a>) for
+ general rules.
+ </li>

+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Members of the GNOME Foundation as of
+ <!-- CANDIDATES_ANNOUNCED_DATE -->2013-05-22
+
+ are eligible to vote in the elections. Members without voting rights
+ such as <a
href="https://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-announce/2012-May/msg00015.html";>Emeritus members</a>
+ are not eligible to vote.
+ Anyone who has made a
+ contribution to GNOME can apply for membership by completing the
+ <a href="http://foundation.gnome.org/membership/apply/";>application</a>.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Any eligible voter is eligible to be elected to the Board of Directors.
+ To announce your candidacy, send a message to
+ <a
href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-announce/";>foundation-announce@gnome.org</a>
+ with your full name, e-mail, corporate affiliation (if any), and a
+ description of your reasons for wanting to serve as a director.
+ Candidacies must be announced prior to
+ <!-- CANDIDATES_CLOSED_DATE -->2013-05-19, 23:59 UTC.
+
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ All candidates should mail a summary of their candicacy announcement
+ (see previous rule) to <a
+ href="mailto:elections@gnome.org";>elections@gnome.org</a>.
+ Summaries should be no more than 75 words of continuous text (i.e. no
+ bullet lists or multiple paragraphs) and must be received by the
+ nomination deadline given above. A compilation of the summaries will
+ be mailed to all registered voters several days prior to the elections.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ All discussion related to the elections should be held on
+ <a href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/";>foundation-list@gnome.org</a>.
+ Members are invited to ask questions to one or all candidates on that
+ list.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Instructions explaining how to vote will be sent via e-mail to all
+ eligible voters on
+ <!-- VOTING_OPENED_DATE -->2013-05-26,
+
+ and votes must be returned by
+ <!-- VOTING_CLOSED_DATE -->2013-06-09, 23:59 UTC.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Votes will be held confidential during the elections, but an
+ anonymized archive of all submitted votes will be made publicly
+ accessible at its conclusion.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The GNOME Foundation Membership and Elections Committee is
+ responsible for counting the votes.
+ The committee serves at the pleasure of the GNOME Board of Directors
+ as per Section 9.1 of the bylaws.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The 7 candidates voted for most as counted by a <a
href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/2009-March/msg00012.html";>single transferable
+ vote system</a> will be elected, except that no more than two
+ individuals affiliated with any one corporation may be elected. Should
+ more than two of the top seven vote-getters be affiliated with the
+ same company, only the two with the most votes will be considered
+ elected. For a full definition of corporate affiliation, see the
+ <a href="https://live.gnome.org/Foundation/Charter";>GNOME Foundation charter</a>.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ In the event of a tie for the final slot on the board, the Elections
+ Committee will schedule run-off elections as soon as possible.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ The Elections Committee will announce preliminary results as soon as
+ possible after the elections close, along with instructions on how to
+ access the votes archive and how to independently verify the vote
+ count.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Any eligible voter may challenge the preliminary results by e-mailing
+ <a
+ href="mailto:elections@gnome.org";>elections@gnome.org</a>
+ prior to
+ <!-- PRELIMINARY_RESULTS_DATE -->2013-06-18.
+
+ The decision of the Elections Committee as
+ to any challenge shall be final. Once any challenges have been
+ resolved, the Elections Committee shall announce the final results.
+ </li>
+ <li>
+ Any questions regarding these procedures should be directed to the
+ Elections Committee by e-mail to <a
+ href="mailto:elections@gnome.org";>elections@gnome.org</a>.
+ The committee shall have the power to make any necessary changes or
+ clarifications to these rules at any point during the elections.

+Dear %(firstname)s %(lastname)s,
+
+The election of the GNOME Foundation Board will soon be open.
+
+Voting will run from 2013-05-26 (Sunday) until 2013-06-09, 23:59 UTC.
+
+To vote, please go to http://vote.gnome.org/vote.php?id=17
+and follow the instructions there.
+
+A list of candidates and their reasons for running is available at
+http://vote.gnome.org/2013/candidates.html
+
+When instructed to do so, enter the following details:
+
+ E-mail: %(email)s
+ Vote token: %(token_or_last_renewed_on)s
+
+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
