Name: David King Email address: amigadave amigadave com Corporate affiliation: Red HatConflict of interest: I am the partner of another candidate (Ekaterina Gerasimova)
Hello!I would like to serve as a director so that I can help out with the important duties of the board for the coming year. I develop software for GNOME during the day (and sometimes by night!), and I also serve on the travel committee, as well as helping out on the documentation team.
My goal on the board is to be an effective director. As a visible portion of the Foundation's role is providing financial support to its members, I think that lots more work will be needed by the board to ensure that GNOME is financially secure, and will remain so in the future. I think that my experience on the travel committee will be helpful in making challenging decisions regarding finances.
A less visible part of the Foundation's role is its communication with members, which happens primarily through foundation-list. I have been disappointed with the delays in seeing meeting minutes published, and I would put myself forward for the position of secretary if I was elected, and strive to get the minutes published no later than the following board meeting.
Good luck to all the other candidates! -- http://amigadave.com/
