Obviously we want GNOME to be successful and for there to be greater adoption, and that would place Free Software in the hands of more people. However, if I'm reading your question right, you are asking what else we have to offer the Free Software cause. One answer here is the emerging agenda around privacy. My view is that the GNOME project is at the forefront of advances in this area, which will not just benefit GNOME's users, but a whole range of Free Software projects. As a member of the board, I would seek to support this aspect of our work wherever possible. I would like GNOME to positively influence other projects (both propriety and Free Software ones) wherever possible. That might be around a range of issues, such as equality and diversity in Free Software, open standards and privacy. One of the best things we can do here is set a good example, but we can also speak out and participate in campaigns where appropriate. Advancing a wide agenda both helps to define us as a project, and gives us a wider impact.
