Throwing my hat in the ring

I've decided to add my hat to the ring (which is becoming very full of 
hats!) on the platform of ensuring usability for the GNOME desktop and 
related applications. 

I intend to make usability testing, research and analysis a major focus in 
GNOME applications, and can assure you that I have the experience, 
ability, and desire to make whatever necessary communication happen in 
order to accomplish this.

I've been in usability/information design for the past five years; I know 
what it takes to make an already sweet platform get to a place that'll 
further ensure its place in the future of computing.

For the past year, I've served as the GNOME Foundation's Information 
Architect, planning the websites for the foundation and surrounding 
activities. I attended the Summit this summer, and am on the planning 
committee for GU4DEC. I also have a sneaky Ximian affiliation, spending 
many hours on the premises, providing assistance whenever necessary.

That being said...well, what's left but...vote for me!

Thanks so much.
