Name: Andrea Veri Email: av gnome org Affiliation: GNOME Foundation Dear Foundation Members, I would like to throw my hat in for this year elections and bring my expertise and passion to fulfill Board's duties and challenges. I've been part of the Foundation since late 2009 participating and contributing in many GNOME teams and fields. While it's usually common among applicants during elections (them being either political or private for a certain foundation or association) to promise or propose what they plan to do (in case of them being elected) for the next term, I'd like to focus on my involvement on the GNOME Project and my past work on the Foundation instead. This to let everyone know how deeply I've been caring about GNOME and the awesome community behind it. Since the very beginning I revamped the Accounts Team bringing the total number of open tickets to zero, at the same I made sure all the relevant wiki pages with the policies and procedures were taken back into an up-to-date status to avoid confusion between account applicants. Lately when I joined the GNOME Foundation Membership Committee I firstly helped the team as a member processing the queue and reducing the huge gap there was between new (tickets never being looked at) and resolved (tickets that have been looked at and processed either resulting in an approval or refusal of the applicant). The suggestions and the huge passion I put on the team rewarded me with the Chairman status. Since then the whole subset of wiki pages under the /MembershipCommittee hat were updated and completely rebuilt. Lastly but not last the Emeritus status [1] was born helping past members to not lose some of the benefits they've been contributing hard to achieve. But that's not all, thanks to Sriram Ramkrishna I lately joined the GNOME Sysadmin Team revamping the GNOME Infrastructure from its ground. I don't want to annoy you more about my contributions on this field given the huge amount of announcements and blog posts I made about the great work the GNOME Sysadmin Team has made during the past year. (huge kudos goes to Patrick Uiterwijk as well for helping out the team and providing support to users and developers on the various support channels (IRC, mailing lists, Request Tracker) we provide) Joining the Board of Directors would give me a chance to take my passion and willingness aboard making sure my action items will be taken care of in the fastest and best way as possible. Thanks for your attention and have an awesome day, [1] https://wiki.gnome.org/MembershipCommittee/EmeritusMembers -- Cheers, Andrea Debian Developer, Fedora / EPEL packager, GNOME Sysadmin Team Coordinator, GNOME Foundation Membership & Elections Committee Chairman Homepage: http://www.gnome.org/~av
