Candidacy: Sara Khalatbari

Name: Sara Khalatbari

Affiliation: none (student)


Summary:

I want to run for the Board election.   I have very strong
communications skills and am not swamped by hacking.  On the board, I
want to help on every single issue that makes progress as smoothly as possible
in a timely manner.


Why:

I got motivated reading Federico's Board Member Application Mini-HOWTO.
I believe the following facts collectively make me a productive board
member if elected:

 - I'm not a hacker.  While I'm learning, I don't see myself addicted
to writing code anytime soon.

 - I have actual real free time.  I'm a Computer Science student and
have lots of time to spend on things I like to.  I /don't/ receive
hundreds of messages from various mailing lists everyday.

 - I am /very/ good with paperwork, communications, keeping task on
progress, and getting things done.  As an example, I managed to contact
every single GUADEC speaker and collect their bio and photo. (no that's
not as easy as you think it is.)

 - I'm passionate about GNOME.


Background:

I was introduced to GNOME by way of Persian translation (Yay
gnome-i18n!).  I then attended GUADEC in Stuttgart and Vilanova where I
helped with the Printed Program.  More recently, I have joined
gnome-love and learning to write perfect code.  I also love reporting
bugs.
