+### X.Org Board Elections
+
+I've been involved in the development of the X Window System since 1995.  
+ I helped bootstrapping the X.Org Foundation. In the past two years I served on the Board of Directors of the X.Org Foundation. There I helped to ensure that the Boards focuses as an overseer on organizational issues and abstained from undue involvement in technical matters.  
+ I was involved in drafting in our new By-Laws and Membership Agreement and I drafted the 2006 budget. 
+
+My strong focus rests in development. As a Board Member I see my most important duty to support our community of contributors and bring its issues to the attention of the Board. 
+
+A number of issues need to be addressed urgently: 
+
+1. Create a Membership Committee to promptly deal with reviewing and accepting Membership applications thru an open process. 
+1. Establish a sponsorship program   
+ This involves identifying funding opportunities and budget for them: 
+      * Event Funding 
+            * Set up travel fund program for X related events and coordinate with event organizers. 
+      * Individual funding 
+            * Set up Budget and policies to sponsor travel for X-related presentations 
+            * Budget for and develop polices for sponsorship of individual contributors to attend meetings relavant to their area of contribution. 
+      * Marketing  
+            * Determine if and in which marketing activeties X.Org should be involved in and what their goals and intended target audiences are. From this develop a policy to fund such events. 
+1. Put  X.Org server infrastructure fully in place: 
+         1. Installation of the donated machines from SUN. 
+         1. Identify services that can be shared with freedesktop.org. 
+         1. Establish a backup and mirroring system for the freedesktop.org infrastructure. 
+         1. Make sure that the administrational workload can be dealt with effectivly.
