This does not have any<br>legal relevance, but is meant for your consideration as good advice<br>for choosing board members.<br><br><br>* Seb Ruiz<br><br>Seb has been with the Amarok project for a long time. Indisputably,<br>Seb is extremely loyal to our project, which he has shown by his<br>persistent dedication. Seb Ruiz sports a number of qualities that I<br>greatly appreciate. Among these are technical competence, a great<br>focus on detail, humor, and social skills. Seb has my full trust. I<br>feel that he represents much of the original spirit of our project.<br><br><br>* Ian Monroe<br><br>Ian also has been with Amarok for quite a while. Similar to Seb, his<br>dedication is hardly disputable. Ian does have different qualities<br>from Seb, but shares the technical competence and the humor. Two<br>qualities that I appreciate especially from Ian are his honesty and<br>his "getting things done" attitude. I also feel that Ian fully<br>understands and acts what is important to Amarok.<br><br><br>Last not least I would also like to recommend myself for the board. My<br>qualities are obvious I think. I do also sport a number of well known<br>disadvantages, among which are impatience, aggressiveness, and perhaps<br>a perceived lack of social finesse. Some of these issues I have been<br>trying to improve, and I'm actively working on improving them further.<br>Believe it or not, but people can change, especially if there is a<br>will. You be the judge.<br><br><br>Further on we have a number of people that I greatly appreciate, among<br>which are Leinir, Nikolaj, Lydia, Leo, Bart, and Jeff. I'm pretty sure<br>that these people are also good candidates for our board.<br><br><br>[1] <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_endorsement">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Political_endorsement</a><br><br>-- <br>Mark Kretschmann<br>Amarok Developer<br><a href="http://www.kde.org">www.kde.org</a> - amarok.kde.org<br>_______________________________________________<br>Amarok-devel mailing list<br><a href="mailto:Amarok-devel@kde.org">Amarok-devel@kde.org</a><br><a href="https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/amarok-devel">https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/amarok-devel</a><br></div></blockquote></div><br><div apple-content-edited="true"> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: auto; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse: separate; color: rgb(0, 0, 0); font-family: Helvetica; font-size: 12px; font-style: normal; font-variant: normal; font-weight: normal; letter-spacing: normal; line-height: normal; orphans: 2; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-horizontal-spacing: 0px; -webkit-border-vertical-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-decorations-in-effect: none; -webkit-text-size-adjust: auto; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div style="word-wrap: break-word; -webkit-nbsp-mode: space; -webkit-line-break: after-white-space; "><div>---</div><div>Leo Franchi<span class="Apple-tab-span" style="white-space: pre; "> </span>(650) 704 3680</div><div>Tufts University 2010 </div><div><br></div><div><a href="mailto:lfranchi@kde.org">lfranchi@kde.org</a></div><div><a href="mailto:leonardo.franchi@tufts.edu">leonardo.franchi@tufts.edu</a></div></div></div></div></div></div></span></div></span></div></span></div></span> </div><br></div></div></body></html>
