Name: Jeremy Allison
Email: [email protected], [email protected]
Affiliation: Google
IRC: Don't use it - I'm too old so I use email instead :-).

I'd like to run for the Gnome Foundation Board of Directors
on behalf of Google.

I've used Gnome for as long as it has been available
as a GNU/Linux desktop.

I don't currently contribute other than helping the
gnome-vfs maintainers use one of the libraries (libsmbclient) of
my primary project, Samba to access SMB1/2/3 servers.

I have a long (25+ years) experience with Free and Open
Source Software, mostly to do with my primary project
Samba.

I am on the Board of Directors of the Software Freedom
Conservancy, and on the Advisory Board of the Document
Foundation (LibreOffice).

I perform my board duties diligently as required.

I'd like to help support Gnome and promote it as a
desktop environment within Google and outside of
Google.

I've had my differences with some of the design
decisions in the past (as Karen Sandler can attest :-),
but I would really like to help add my experience
and enthusiasm for Free and Open Source Software
to the project.

Thank you for your consideration.

Jeremy Allison,
Google Open Source Programs Office,
Co-Author of the Samba project.
