Last year, when I expressed my disappointment with the fact that Anne 
wasn't elected in the board, people said I should have spoken up 
earlier. This year we have the same situation.

So here it is: Anne, besides having excellent qualifications for board 
membership, is the only woman among the candidates. For me, this is an 
extra reason to vote for her. While, for reasons beyond our control, the 
developer base of the GNOME project is predominantly male, I think 
everyone would agree that we target men, women (and everything in 
between ;) equally as users. It would be good to try and reflect this in 
the composition of the board.

regards,
