+This is a decision I've been seriously thinking about since 2017 but however becoming a dad, switching jobs 
and moving cities has gotten in the way.
+
+Why do I want to run?
+
+Mostly out of sense of duty. I think that while being part of the board may not the most rewarding thing to 
do at GNOME  it is an essential function to enable the work of others. I think it is long overdue for me to 
pick up the torch and give it a go.
+
+What would be my focus?
+
+The short answer is, wherever I am most useful.
+
+To be more concrete, here are some of the things I care about:
+I worry a lot about the sustainability of GNOME as a project, I want to make sure our stack is positioned to 
attract more contributors both corporate and individual. I want our community to be a welcoming place to 
everyone so that we keep being excelent to one another. I want our events to have the biggest impact in terms 
of catalysing the efforts of the developers and attracting new talent.
+
+I also want the foundation to be as transparent as possible and ensure that foundation members and the 
community at large are aware of the impact our staff is having.
+
+Who are you anyway?
+
+I've been a GNOME contributor ever since 2004, I started focusing on Python GTK bindings and Windows support 
and then started having impact in other areas. I have never been a rockstar hacker so my code contributions 
are modest, but I have participated in many initiatives within GNOME such as organizing the first Desktop 
Summit, countless hackfests, GUADEC in Manchester. For a long time I was the main Planet GNOME editor and I 
also started our journey towards GitLab (although Carlos Soriano and Andrea Veri deserve praise for most of 
the heavy lifting) a few years after I built the GitHub mirror and noticed all the casual contributions that 
started to happen there.
+
+I've worked at Sun, Codethink, Canonical, AWS and Red Hat, and most of my jobs have been tightly tied to my 
experience and impact within GNOME, something for which I am forever grateful and for which I try to give 
back to the community in every possible way.
