But as for what others have told me, the board should take a few hours a week, which fortunately I seem to have.
But apart from the board's tasks, I would spend lots of my real working hours dealing with the relationship of GNOME and distributors (Ubuntu specifically) > 2.)

Although, AFAIK, some topics are discussed privately first (because of sensible information being discussed), so in those cases a private discussion might be needed. As for the recording of votes, I think it might be good, but again, this is my 1st time on the board (if I get elected :-) so not sure if others with more experience would agree. But it is definitely a good thing to consider. _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
