Around 5 hours or so. I can spend more time on it when it is needed,
but it would be unsustainable of me to commit more on a regular basis.

The ecosystem in Asia is very different from in Europe and North
America. I think that the local community is much better placed at
promoting and growing GNOME in that region than I am, so I would be
most effective on the board at ensuring that any resources which are
needed by people like you which the Foundation can provide are
available for you to use. This can be everything from funding for
events to putting you in touch with other people who can help.
