[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.

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.

I personally would like to thank him for his hard and good work on this topic, which - knowing from my own experiences - can be quite tedious and hard at times. So far, no other takers have shown up, so unless one board member or deputy shows up in this thread and takes over responsibility, the proposal is to rephrase § 3 as follows: == §3.

Infrastructure Officer The board will contract, or alternatively hire if more economical/practical, resources for professional, secure, and timely maintenance of TDF's central IT infrastructure.

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.

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.

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.
