Dear Community, Members of the TDF, and Membership Committee, I hereby state that I will be running again for a Board of Directors seat with The Document Foundation.
Im Bjoern Michaelsen, the Ubuntu maintainer for LibreOffice and am working for Canonical. I have been elected to be a deputy to the board of directors of the Document Foundation in the previous (and first) election, and am serving as a full member of the board starting this month. In the LibreOffice project and at the Document Foundation I am not the master of any one trade (except maybe the packaging of LibreOffice on Ubuntu) and rather tried myself as a jack of all trades, helping whereever I am needed at a given moment. As such, during the last two years I at one point or another: - helped moving LibreOffice completely to the new gbuild build system - helped integrating LibreOffice in Unity, PackageKit - initiated, build and updated bibisect to hunt down regression hard and mercilessly - did various bugfixes - sometimes helped out with LibreOffice packaging on Debian - helped investigating investment opportunities for the TDF funds - organized, led and helped kickstarting the regular LibreOffice QA calls - being the liason engineer between Ubuntu and LibreOffice (esp. for QA, but also preparing ~all official releases of LibreOffice on Ubuntu) - helped coordinate and organize LibreOffice conferences - initiated and helped organizing the various LibreOffice Hackfests and events (e.g. Hamburg, Freiburg, Dresden, Munich, Silicon Valley) - represented LibreOffice on various conferences and events (e.g. FISL in BR, FOSDEM, Chaos Communication Congress in Berlin/Hamburg, LinuxTag, countless Ubuntu Development Summits ...) - helped steamlining the EasyHacks idea into bugzilla for onboarding of newcomers - did my part in coordinating and starting gerrit to make code review on LibreOffice a lot easier and clearing the road for more CI in LibreOffice - administrated the TDF QA Budget - did my duty on the ESC, took part in almost all calls, resolved countless action items, stepped in to lead and minute that call a few times - represented TDF and LibreOffice as a Stiftung in Germany on various occasions - some work on LibreOffice certification, esp. on the developer certification committee - ... And likely a lot of other things I forgot to mention here. As a member of the board, I plan to continue to push the project forward as I did as a deputy. Best, Bjoern P.S.: If you want to crosscheck what I said before my election years ago, and if the actions I took after being elected as an deputy are consistent with that, here is a reference: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/Candidacy-for-Board-of-Directors-seat-Bjoern-Michaelsen-tp3372142.html -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: board-discuss+unsubscr...@documentfoundation.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/board-discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
