Reminder: announce your candidacy for GNOME Board

[Jim Hall <jhall gnome org>]

Hi everyone!

You have TWO MORE DAYS to announce your candidacy for the upcoming Board term.

Serving on the Board is a great way to contribute to GNOME, and it
doesn't take a lot of your time. The Board of Directors meets every
week via a one-hour phone conference to discuss various topics about
the GNOME Foundation and GNOME. In addition, individual Board members
may volunteer to take on actions from meetings - usually to follow up
with someone who asked the Board for action, such as a funding
request.

At least two current Board members have decided not to run again this
year. (I am one of them.) So if you want to run for the GNOME
Foundation Board of Directors, this is an excellent opportunity!

If you are planning on running for the Board, please be aware that the
Board meets 2 days before GUADEC begins to do a formal handoff, plan
for the upcoming year, and meet with the Advisory Board. GUADEC 2017
is 28 July to 2 August in Manchester, UK. If elected, you should plan
on attending meetings this year on July 26th and 27th in Manchester,
UK.


To announce your candidacy, just send an email to foundation-announce
that gives your name, your affiliation (who you work for), and a few
sentences about your background and interest in serving on the Board.


Thanks!

Jim
