I'm Andreas Nilsson, 28 years old, from Sweden. I've been part of the 
GNOME community since around 2005 and do all kinds of visual stuff for 
the project. Websites, t-shirts, icons, etc. as part of the Art team and 
the Marketing team.
I run my own freelance design company in Gothenburg and this is my 
candidacy for GNOME Board of Directors.

Why me:
• By not being a coder I hope to bring a different perspective
• Apparently I enjoy driving hard decisions
• I care deeply about the project

I want to focus on:
• Figure out ways to bring in new fresh blood in the project.
• Try to make GNOME a exciting and amazing place for collaboration and 
work together with upstream and downstreams to create cool stuff together.
• Figure out what GNOME is, wants and could be in regard to the 
interesting times we live in today. [1]
• Make a better job of telling the world of all the cool things we do.
