Board of Directors Elections 2018 - Candidacy - Carlos Soriano

[Carlos Soriano]

*Name: Carlos SorianoEmail: csori...@gnome.org Corporate
affiliation: Red HatHello all,I would like to announce my candidacy for the
GNOME Foundation board of directors for the second term.*
I've been contributing to GNOME since 2014 as GSoC student for two years in
GNOME Shell and then joined Red Hat as maintainer of Nautilus until now.

In the last board term I tried to look after GNOME as a whole while being
close to every person in our community. I enjoyed reaching out to the
different people that creates GNOME and tried to create initiatives and
took the lead of those that I believe have a good impact on the project and
organization.

As part of the board, I worked on getting small events have an easy process
to get sponsorship  in order to
encourage participation locally.

More notoriously, I have been working as partnership contact with GitLab
. Being part of the board gave me the ground and
position to be able to agree on a deal after 6 months of work and
discussions. That work included making part of their product free software,
removing the CLA, supporting GNOME on our transition, influence their
product decisions and finally, getting sponsorship.

Lately, I also created the GNOME Internship program
 by setting up the instructions,
processes, requirements, contract, legal framework and contacting community
members needed to make it successful. This effort allowed us to unblock the
privacy campaign funds recollected in 2013 and allows the foundation to
channel funds towards critical topics from now on.

If I get reelected, I will continue trying to steer the GNOME project in
the direction I believe it's most beneficial for the project and that
aligns with what the members of GNOME would like for the GNOME project to
be.

I don't know how the path will look like, as we are expanding the
foundation the challenges ahead are great. However, these challenges are
just another motivation to be part of the board.

Best,
Carlos Soriano
