+ <blockquote>
+ I started using GNOME four years ago through my work at Endless, a company that is deploying
the GNOME stack in a computer designed for emerging markets. I'm passionate about creating social impact
through technology, and so I was immediately drawn to the free and open source world once introduced to it. I
was impressed by how many cool FOSS projects there are, and I immediately began thinking of ideas for how we
can make them even better and more accessible.
+
+ Once I started meeting the people of GNOME, I knew that I wanted to be a part of the
community; however, I wasn't sure how to contribute as a non-developer and non-designer. I finally became an
active contributor last GUADEC, because of the BoF sessions, and I've been addicted ever since. I'm very
eager to help make it easier for new people to contribute to GNOME, and helping to ensure that GNOME keeps
growing better and more vibrant each year. I think that we can be an
+ even greater model for how to structure a community that's inclusive, friendly and
efficient, and that we can influence the FOSS community as a whole to follow suit.

constructively motivate productivity; so as an elected director, I would strive to best represent your views

at GNOME is eager to learn a new thing and share all the finding or knowledge around the other. Ever since
