+I'm a long-time GNOME user and have been on the board of directors since 2018, helping to guide the board
through a transition where the responsibilities moved away from implementation (individual board members
doing the work) and more towards oversight. I would like to run again because I think it's important for
there to be continuity on the board of directors and there are initiatives that I'd like to continue to be
involved in.
+
+One such initiative is to continue moving the board in the direction of organizational governance and
oversight. For instance, in this past year I've joined the newly-created governance committee which is
responsible for making sure the board of directors is functioning well; includes members with the diverse
backgrounds, perspectives, and skill profiles that are good for the organization; digs deep enough; and
provides the appropriate amount of oversight of the Foundation's leadership.
+
+Although board members don't work directly on policy implementation, I do have personal interests and
priorities that shape the way that I consider the GNOME Foundation's actions. When you decide whether to vote
for me or not, you probably want to know these. My main interests, not in any particular order, are:
+- Health, values, visibility, and transparency of the Foundation itself
+- Health and values of the GNOME community
+- Lowering the barriers for new contributors
+- Ensuring GNOME preserves user freedom
+- Ensuring GNOME stays competitive with the latest developments in proprietary desktops
+- Reexamining what software freedom means in a post-FSF landscape
