+ <h1>Candidates for the GNOME Foundation 2015 Elections</h1>
+
+ <p>
+ Below you find the list of candidates running for the
+ GNOME Foundation Board of Directors in 2015. We encourage everyone
+ to check the candidates' full candidacy statements, and follow related
+ discussions on <a
href="http://mail.gnome.org/archives/foundation-list/";>foundation-list@gnome.org</a>.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>
+ When deciding who to vote for, please consider
+ the various tasks under the responsibility of the Board of Directors. This
+ <a href="../overview.html">overview</a> might be helpful. The board makes
+ a number of important decisions and performs many tasks which require time,
+ effort and the ability to work and communicate with others. The Board of
+ Directors will represent GNOME to companies and the world. 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>.

+ <blockquote>I have been involved in many areas of GNOME over the past decade,
+amongst which are advocacy, translations and GUADEC organization. It
+has given me a good overview of how the different areas and teams
+within the Foundation function, as well as many occasions to exercise
+my coordination, organisational and problem solving skills. I have
+enjoyed my time working on GNOME and would like to use what I have
+learnt to contribute on a higher level.
+
+Being on the board is not a piece of cake and our past directors have
+done a good job. I am now humbly presenting my candidacy, hoping that
+I'll be able to serve as well as others have done in the past.</blockquote>

+ <blockquote>I have worked on the GNOME Project for around 6 years, first as a volunteer, and
currently as a Red Hat employee. I've always been deeply appreciative of the work done by the Board of
Directors; now seems like a good time for me to help out in this important area.
+
+As a member of the Board, I would work to ensure that the Foundation is both efficient and effective. I'm
pretty good when it comes to organisational matters, and tend to get things done. One of my main interests
would be to ensure that we successfully engage our Advisory Board members, as well as develop new
partnerships wherever possible.
+
+Also, I think that I have good awareness of where GNOME's strengths and weaknesses are right now - which
would be helpful if I'm elected.</blockquote>

+ <blockquote>Foundation Members,
+
+this past year has been challenging for the Board of Directors - just
+to remind the most demanding items: from the Groupon trademark infringement
+handling to the Outreach Program for Women outsourcing to the Software
+Freedom Conservancy - and I'm extremely proud to have had a chance to
+contribute to the success of the GNOME Foundation providing my
+feedback on both the legal and technical fields when issues arised.
+
+I'm also glad to have served as the Secretary of the Board providing high
+detailed meeting minutes, answering Foundation member's questions
+privately and generally making sure the Foundation membership as a
+whole was informed of what the Board was up to in a timely manner.
+
+That said, I'm happy to announce my candidacy to the Board of
+Directors for a second term.</blockquote>

+ <blockquote>I would like to announce my candidacy for the Foundation Board of Directors.
+
+I have been working on Gnome since 3 years ago, starting as a volunteer on October of 2012 for gnome-shell
and accomplishing successfully Gsoc on gnome-shell the years 2013 and 2014, joining Red Hat as maintainer of
Nautilus after the end of the 2014 Gsoc.
+I have been interested in lower the barrier for newcomers to contribute to Gnome. In that matter I have
reworked part of the GnomeLove wiki. Also I have been always trying to help newcomers on IRC and make the
Gnome community feel a welcomed place for those people.
+
+As myself, I'm a enthusiastic person, I do what I do because I love it. I like teaching and helping people,
and learn from them at the same time. I try to be patient, listen and understand what every person has to say.

be an unique asset to the Board of Directors, and would help keeping our community a thriving environment for
downstream projects and hardware products based on our technology stack.

+ <blockquote>GNOME has a difficult challenge ahead, carefully balancing the goals of
+the GNOME user community, the GNOME developer community, the broader
+community of people using and building on GNOME technologies, and the
+ultimate goal of building the best possible Free Software desktop
+environment. In the GNOME 3 timeframe especially, GNOME often helps
+drive improvements in the full stack, from the kernel on up, and vice
+versa. This makes it possible for GNOME to tackle difficult technical
+goals that could not be solved with changes to GNOME alone. However, it
+also requires increased collaboration among plumbing developers, as
+those components must serve the needs of many different users and
+environments. In addition, GNOME's own components are increasingly used
+in environments other than GNOME, requiring the same improvements to
+collaboration.
+
+I look forward to helping GNOME better address this and other
+challenges.</blockquote>

I believe that GNOME is in a great position to set the bar for GNU/Linux desktop accessibility and more
generally, I feel I am able to contribute progressive ideas towards developing GNOME’s infrastructure with a
view to helping it grow as an autonomous non-profit organisation.
+
+An atmosphere where the contributors are made to feel supported and valued, is one that is more able to
constructively motivate productivity; so as an elected director, I would strive to best represent your views
by being open, direct, approachable, communicative and accountable in seeking feedback on matters which may
arise throughout the term.

+Dear %(firstname)s %(lastname)s,
+
+The election of the GNOME Foundation Board will soon be open.
+
+Voting will run from 2016-05-25 (Monday) until 2016-06-08, 23:59 UTC.
+
+To vote, please go to http://vote.gnome.org/vote.php?id=18
+and follow the instructions there.
+
+A list of candidates and their reasons for running is available at
+https://vote.gnome.org/2016/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,
+ Fabiana Simões
+ on behalf of the GNOME Membership and Elections Commitee
