Dear people, dear members, All good things come in threes: for the third time I would love to stand for the elections of the Board of Directors.
Often I tell people about my enthusiasm and gratitude for our community. What we have set up in 2010 with The Document Foundation, turned out to be marvelous: a wonderful combination of all sorts of stakeholders. Because we took advantage of the lessons learned in the years before, diversity and inclusion of multiple vendors is anchored in our statues. So we bring together people and organizations with all sorts of backgrounds, with interest in free office software and open document standards, in a community that respects the principles of meritocracy. I love to continue working on further growth by again serving in a team of board members. To that extend, I bring with me a wide experience in all sorts of societies, foundations and representing bodies, helping judging the balance in all situations. And not less important: a long history in our community. After having worked in the OpenOffice.org community, involved in a nice mix of volunteering in QA, marketing, local activities, I had the honor to be one of TDF's founders. Spending less time for QA etc - alas - but having served many years in the MC and now two terms in the BoD. The work for my small Dutch open source office service provider Nou&Off evolved as well. Still helping a rich set of small to large customers around LibreOffice, most of my work is now for Collabora Productivity. All good things come in threes: TDF Lives, that we are Free People, and together we Pursuit Improving! Full name: Cor Nouws Email: c...@nouenoff.nl Corporate affiliation: Nou&Off, Collabora Productivity <75 words statement: It would love to continue continuing contribute to the Board and the wider community for the third time. Using my long experience in the LibreOffice community and using my broad background in other foundations, groups etc. With an open mind for what our world of today and tomorrow is asking for, respecting the foundations unique position, great variety of interests, meritocratic nature and its principles of freedom and inclusiveness. warm greetings, Cor -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: board-discuss+unsubscr...@documentfoundation.org Problems? https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: https://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/board-discuss/ Privacy Policy: https://www.documentfoundation.org/privacy
