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.
