Hi Max,

| Hello all,
| 
| First, thanks to all candidates for volunteering to the Foundation Board.
| Max come from GNOME.Asia team and thanks GNOME and board support Asia.
| 
| I have 2 questions to all candidates
| 
| 1)  How many hours per week do you expect you will be able to dedicate to
| working on the board on a regular basis?
| 

In my case I don't know how much time the board will require, and it's a little difficult to
say specific hours, since part of what I want to do is part of what I was already doing in
my free time.
On the other hand I'm flexible on time requirements, and I'm more the kind of person that spend
the necessary time to get the job done.

| 
| 2)  What's your plan and view with GNOME in Asia? How do you think
| about grow GNOME in Asia?( ecosystem / contribute / sponsor /
| volunteer ...  )

I think the market in Asia is the one that Linux fits more, and there Gnome can be the big
player to achieve the adoption by people in Asia.
Said that, it is a different culture than mine and what we need is people from there
to work with us to achieve more adoption. On the board side what we can do is
making sure those people are listen and we fulfill the needs of them (hackfest,
sponsorship, etc.)


Cheers,
Carlos Soriano
