-------- Forwarded Message -------- From: Glynn Foster <Glynn Foster Sun COM> Reply-To: foundation-list gnome org To: foundation-announce gnome org, Gnome Foundation <foundation-list gnome org> Subject: Candidacy :: Glynn Foster Date: Wed, 15 Nov 2006 11:26:41 +1300 Name: Glynn Foster Nicks: Gman Email: glynn foster sun com Corporate Affiliation: Sun Microsystems Background: I've been working for the Sun desktop group and involved in GNOME for the past 6 years. I've been a past Foundation board member during 2002 and 2003. My focus has generally been on community development and communication between Sun and GNOME, though I have been known to write some code from time to time. I have previously been involved in the GUADEC organizing committee for several years, and was a member of the Elections and Membership committee. I am also an active member of the OpenSolaris community. Why: I believe there are a number of significant improvements to the GNOME Foundation board (and consequently a lot less frustration) over the last year or two that have encouraged me enough to run again. I hope to be able to continue on the *fantastic* progress the board has made this year, and work with the wider free software community. Concerns: I do intend to run for the OpenSolaris governing board elections early next year which would obviously split my interests and time if elected. I'm also concerned that we get the right selection people on the board this year as I feel that GNOME is more strategically important than ever, and I would very much like to see that momentum continue. I would very much encourage candidacies from Quim Gil, Dave Neary, Jonathan Blandford and Jeff Waugh. I don't want to be a rock star, I just want to help. If more suitable candidates are running, I'm happy to cheer them from the sidelines.
