Hello. I would like to put forward my name for the GNOME Board of
Directors. If elected, this will be my first term on the Board.

Name: Jim Hall
Email: [email protected]
Corporate affiliation: none

I have used GNOME since version 1.0, and since 2012 I have worked with
GNOME on formal usability testing. I have been a member of the GNOME
Foundation since 2014.

I continue to do usability testing with GNOME. I have mentored two cycles
of GNOME usability testing as part of the GNOME Outreach Program for Women
and for Outreachy. Starting May 23, I will mentor three more Outreachy
interns in more usability testing for GNOME.

I figure it is time to do more with GNOME, so I am putting myself forward
for the Board of Directors.

Outside of GNOME, I have been part of free/open source software communities
since 1993. I have written or contributed to dozens of projects, but I am
probably best known for the FreeDOS Project. I also write articles about
free/open source software, including several in *Linux Journal*.

At work, I am the Chief Information Officer at Ramsey County, Minnesota, US.

Thanks,
Jim
