Dear All, I would like to announce my candidacy for a Board of Directors seat at The Document Foundation.
Who am I? I am Kalman Kemenczy, 39 year old product manager, proud father of 2 kids. I live in Budapest, Hungary. I spent 13 years at Novell in several positions (eg. consultant, service delivery manager, open source strategist). During that period I have been worked on several Linux Desktop / OOo / LibreOffice implementation projects especially in the government sector. Since 2004 I have been working as a translator (web, software, book) in several open source projects such as Mozilla and openSUSE. I am one of the founder of the Hungarian translator community (openscope.org) and Open Standard Alliance Hungary (nyissz). Currently I work at a Hungarian startup as product manager where I manage two agile, extremely rapid development teams and create product strategy according the market needs. What have I done for TDF? I was a big fan of the Go-OO project from the very beginning, so there was no question to support TDF on all levels. First of all I proudly managed the secret TDF dinner in Budapest during the OOo conference :) Later I organized a university program for Hungarian students to help them join easily to open source development communities, few of them landed in LibreOffice project. As an open source evangelist I gave presentation a lot on (mostly Hungarian) conferences. (Last time about LibreOffice at Software Freedom Day 2011, Szeged, Hungary: http://prezi.com/ycbqlykxq91a/ ) Why do I candidate for a seat in BoD? I have experience to build and manage open source user/developer community, agile product/project management and technology visioner. As BoD member I would like to keep the focus on the market/users needs and also help on product strategy and direction. I strongly believe in LibreOffice as a product and community. Should you have question, please let me know. best, kalman -- Unsubscribe instructions: E-mail to [email protected] 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/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
