[board-discuss] Board of Directors Candidacy removal
Dear fellow member, For personal reasons I cannot proceed anymore with my candidacy for the Board of Directors for the 2016-1018 term. My current activities on the Board will end normally at the end of this term. I wish good luck for the next Board of Directors.

[board-discuss] Candidacy for the Board of Directors
Dear members of the Board of Trustees I am Eliane Domingos de Sousa, 42, Brazilian member of The Document Foundation and currently member of the Board of Directors. I run for re-election. I have my small company that does services around LibreOffice technology and ecosystem. My company also deals with other open source technologies. I teach classes on LibreOffice and my associates do consulting in LibreOffice for my customers. What have I done for LibreOffice In the last couple of years I acted as member of the BoD of TDF, but I am involved with LibreOffice and TDF since the beginning. I employed all the means I had to develop the use and the brand of LibreOffice in Brazil. Since 2011 I managed to run social networks around LibreOffice. In Brazil, and with the help of the community we have Google Plus, FaceBook, Youtube and Twitter dedicated to LibreOffice and in Portuguese. Links for social networks: https://www.facebook.com/libreofficebr [3] | https://twitter.com/libreofficebr [4] | https://www.youtube.com/libreofficebrasil [5] | https://plus.google.com/50711502630826613 [6] LibreOffice Magazine is one of the achievements I am proud to be the main editor and diagrammer. This bi-monthy e-magazine is completely done in LibreOffice and is covers all aspects of the LibreOffice community, including how-to's, case studies, interviews and also on FOSS. In december, its 18th edition will be released. Link for magazines: http://pt-br.libreoffice.org/projetos/revista [7] I also participated in almost every open source business event in Brazil, either sponsored by the private industry as well as from the government, representing LibreOffice and The Document Foundation. In the last 5 years, I gave lectures on LO in events, schools, I participated in round tables and workshops, and managed LibreOffice booths in almost 45 business events in Brazil. I also manage and publish news in the Brazilian LibreOffice blog, as well as our pt-BR portal. Many of you have already seen all the graphic designs I did for the blog posts as well as the social networks I manage with the community. Link for blog: http://blog.pt-br.libreoffice.org/ [8] What I intend to achieve in the Board Of Directors. The BoD position is an important position for the community. I intend to be an active voice of the community inside the Board. A careful mix between non-developers and developers in the board is important to bring TDF close to its users and supporters. So, this is what I do for the project in Brazil. I have an enormous passion for the project, an enormous pride to be part of TDF and I'll try to do my best. I'm available to answer any questions. 75-words version: My name is Eliane Domingos de Sousa, 42. I am currently member of the Board and of the Brazilian community since 2010. I am a free software entrepreneur and activist in Brazil, and also editor of the LibreOffice Magazine. In the TDF Board I want to be the voice of the community and bring TDF closer to LibreOffice users and advocates. I also think TDF is in the crossway to address its growth and its institutional challenges, which is a healthy business ecosystem to enhance LibreOffice adoption worldwide.

The board acknowledges that TDF's virtual presence and web pages are one of its most valuable assets, and thus are worthy of focused investment to complement the sysadmin community's great work. § 9.

The Executive Director shall be entitled with certain legal powers to fullfill this role and ensure daily operations, and is otherwise bound to orders issued by the board. The Executive Director may not be part of either the board or the membership committee, nor deputy in either of these bodies. § 10.

It may entitle one ore more individual contributors to the foundation's projects to represent the foundation and its projects on a non-legal level and speak on its behalf on conferences, events, trade shows, to journalists and market analysts.

[board-discuss] Candidacy for a BoD seat - Eliane Domingos de Sousa
Hi all, I am Eliane Domingos de Sousa, 40, Brazilian member of The Document Foundation. I have my small company that does services around LibreOffice technology and ecosystem. My company also deals with other open source technologies. I teach classes on LibreOffice and my associates do consulting in LibreOffice for my customers. What have I done for LibreOffice Since the birth of LibreOffice, I was myself involved with it. It was important to feed this little baby and let it grow and find its place in the open source marketplace. I employed all the means I had to develop the use and the brand of LibreOffice in Brazil. Since 2011 I managed to run social networks around LibreOffice. In Brazil, and with the help of the community we have Google Plus, FaceBook, Youtube and Twitter dedicated to LibreOffice and in Portuguese. Links for social networks: https://www.facebook.com/libreofficebr | https://twitter.com/libreofficebr | https://www.youtube.com/libreofficebrasil | https://plus.google.com/50711502630826613 LibreOffice Magazine is one of the achievements I am proud to be the main editor and diagrammer. This bi-monthy e-magazine is completely done in LibreOffice and is covers all aspects of the LibreOffice community, including how-to's, case studies, interviews and also on FOSS. In december, its 8th edition will be released. Link for magazines: http://pt-br.libreoffice.org/projetos/revista I also participated in almost every open source business event in Brazil, either sponsored by the private industry as well as from the government, representing LibreOffice and The Document Foundation. In the last 3 years, I gave lectures on LO in events, schools, I participated in round tables and workshops, and managed LibreOffice booths in almost 20 business events in Brazil. Link for some pictures: https://plus.google.com/u/0/photos/yourphotos I also manage and publish news in the Brazilian LibreOffice blog, as well as our pt-BR portal. Many of you have already seen all the graphic designs I did for the blog posts as well as the social networks I manage with the community. Link for blog: http://blog.pt-br.libreoffice.org/ Recently I got nominated to coordinate the translation of ODF1.2 standards to Portuguese so that the Brazilian National Standard Board can use it as standards for electronic documents. What I intend to achieve in the Board Of Directors. The BoD position is an important position for the community. It requires time and dedication. I intend to be an active voice of the community inside the Board. A careful mix between non-developers and developers in the board is important to bring TDF close to its users and supporters. So, this is what I do for the project in Brazil. I have an enormous passion for the project, an enormous proud to be part of TDF and I'll try to do my best. I'm available to answer any questions.

Re: [board-discuss] Official Blog LibreOffice Brazil
Hi Florian, Thanks for your return and support. Maybe I was not very clear in my e-mail request. We are prepared to paying this bill. Tell us only the way.

I would like to have for the Brazilian LibreOffice Community and users/fans of LIBO an official blog in the structure of TDF using the sub-domain pt-br.libreoffice.org. I had some informations about this possibility and it's possible, however there are costs involved per year in a total of 73 USD. Today we're using an unofficial blog, translating the posts of TDF blog for Portuguese, but I'm not confortable to use this structure. Actually, I think it's not right to work out of structure of TDF. Do you see any problem about this? thanks for proposing this, Eliane! My mid-term plan is to host WordPress on our own, which then would scale much better and we could easily set up various languages. For the moment, however, the migration to our new platform has priority, wso I won't be able to touch this. I expect to be not ready before 2 months of time or so. Therefore, since Brazil is very active, I would support your request. If we can solve the problem with some small amount of money, that's better than binding admin's time that's desperately needed elsewhere right now. I just want to note that this is no precedence for others - if tomorrow, 20 others projects would ask, spending 20*70 USD surely is not economic anymore. :-) So: +1 to your request from my side.
