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.

Cheers Clap hands, Simon. Wonderful you stepped up.
