Re: [Freedreno] 2021 X.Org Foundation Election Candidates
Correction, we have 7 candidates for 4 positions. I seem to have overlooked Walter Harms's nomination email. My sincerest apologies. His personal affiliation, statement of contribution, and personal statement are below. The full slate of candidates can be found at https://wiki.freedesktop.org/xorg/BoardOfDirectors/Elections/2021/ ## Walter Harms __Current Affiliation:__ Scientist @ Bundesamt für Strahlenschutz __Statement of Contribution:__ I am involved into the open source since studying physics several years ago. I am also certified trainer for programmers. I contributed in the last years to projects like linux kernel, man pages, etc. Since a few years i have commit rights for X11 and did some work on libX11 and libXt. __Personal Statement:__ Since i started to become a trainer i have a predilection for documentation. Xorg has a lot good documentation but today is it less. NTL what is important is the application. I would like to see more training material and more X11 applications especially for remote access. But i was never involved in the xorg organisation. So i see myself more as an apprentice. We will see if i can help.
