Hi All, For those of you who don't know me my name is Simon Lees and I am announcing my intention to run for the board. About me: As you can guess from my email address I now work for SUSE, I have done so for 2 years but I have been involved in the openSUSE community for around 7 years, mostly packaging the enlightenment desktop and a few other things. I am also part of the factory review team and have contributed to a bunch of other areas including patterns etc. Vision for the project: The reasons I started using openSUSE were 1. It treated all software particularly desktops equally, 2. The reasons I started contributing to openSUSE 7ish years back were 1. basically any contribution is welcome and 2. contributing is easy. I don't have any radical new plans for the vision of the project I think its in a really good place, mostly I just want to keep helping to make the reasons I joined the project reasons for other people to join and keep working on the project. Why Vote for me: * When I see something that needs fixing i'll probably just go and fix it. * I have decent people skills and am reasonably good at helping people work through problems. * I have a good technical understanding of may parts of the project. I might have a bit more to say in coming weeks, but if you have questions feel free to bug me via email or as simotek on the freenode irc network.
