Hi Olivier, I recognize you as an important person for the propagation of LibreOffice, specially in Brazil, for your performance inside and outside of TDF.
You never refused to perform you role as a member from TDF, neither to promote LibreOffice in all possible instances. You got my vote, dude! ;-) Best, David 2011/9/29 Jomar Silva <[email protected]> > Excellent, Olivier ! > > I truly believe that you are a key person in LO development and adoption in > Brazil, and I support your candidacy. > > Best, > > Jomar > > -----Original Message----- > From: Olivier Hallot <[email protected]> > Sender: [email protected] > Date: Tue, 27 Sep 2011 11:08:12 > To: <[email protected]>; < > [email protected]> > Reply-To: [email protected] > Subject: [steering-discuss] Candidacy for Board of Directors > > I thereby announce my candidacy for a Board of Directors seat at the > Document Foundation > > My name is Olivier Hallot, I am a 53 old electronic engineer living in Rio > de Janeiro, Brazil.
