My colleagues at the board recommend that I make explicit my current interests in the GNOME Foundation in this list, for you to know: - I announced internally my interest in the position of business development director in September, as soon as the board confirmed an interest in this position. The same day I unsubscribed from the board-only mailing list, where the discussion is taking place. - Since then Dave Neary reports to me about the hiring process, I guess as he is doing with the rest of candidates. Of course I'm not taking part in the meetings about this position either. I keep working on my tasks as board member and I'm subscribed to the board list. - Last week Dave told me that there was a concern in the board about my situation as board member and candidate for the position. I replied that I have no objection to resign as board member. I just want to be a candidate for the position in equal conditions. This is why I'm reporting here and now all this. I thought about communicating my interest for this position before for transparency sake, but I feared this could be considered as an attempt to gain some advantage over the rest of candidates. You know, hiring processes in community environments are delicate. I would have resigned from the board back on September if my colleagues would have requested it. I can resign now if you think it's appropriate. As I told Dave last week, I will do whatever it's best. I just want to defend my candidacy for the job like any other candidate. -- Quim Gil /// http://desdeamericaconamor.org
