I have already arranged 2 hackfests under GNOME and found that I enjoy the work and that I have a talent for the required fundraising as well as drumming up excitement. I have plenty of sparetime as I am retired on medical grounds and I would love to dedicate some of it towards dragging GNOME kicking and screaming into the 21th century. I have plenty of ideas for how to raise funds and for where GNOME can (and should) go in the future. Thank you for the consideration, David Nielsen </pre> gnomeuser< at >gmail.com 2012-05-10T17:51:22 http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.foundation.announce/523 <pre> Dear Foundation Members, The GNOME Foundation board of directors and the GNOME Foundation Membership and Elections Committee are pleased to announce the upcoming elections for the Board of Directors in Spring 2012.

GNOME is the Free Software project that drives the user interfaces of many GNU/Linux-powered devices, ranging from smartphones to laptops, or personal media centers. This get-together event is the world's largest gathering of those involved with the free desktop or mobile user interfaces. GUADEC 2012 is expected to draw hundreds of attendees who will discuss and direct the future of the GNOME project.

It will be a great place to celebrate and explore the many new features and enhancements to the groundbreaking GNOME 3 release and to help make GNOME as successful as possible. Hong Kong is well known for being one of the largest cities in Asia, with a thriving cultural scene, solid infrastructure, and robust public transportation system. Many countries have a visa-free period for travel with Hong Kong and the city has well integrated international connections. We believe that hosting the event in Hong Kong will bring the spotlight on GNOME and make an impact locally, regionally and internationally in terms of business and community building.

We've been working on this for a few months now, but the result is simply awesome. That said, I would like to thank Vinicius DePizzol (vdepizzol) for all his work and contributions to make this happen. His devotion and willingness to contribute to the GNOME Foundation are amazing and working with him during all these months has been a pleasure for me, he's a superb contributor and most of all a great guy.
