Dear Tobias, I believe you have the necessary experience from community side and you are great as GNOME representative. This certainly I had reaffirmed when I saw your participation in LinuxCon Brazil. Also I'm following all your efforts in Europe to garantee that GNOME rocks! Please keep your enthusiasm and looking for Latin America. I wish you luck. All my best, Izabel Valverde _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
