Dear members, dear board,
I’m pleased to nominate myself for the membership of The Document Foundations Membership Committee.
Full name: Cor Nouws
Email: oolst@nouenoff.nl, cor.nouws@documentfoundation.org
Affiliation: Nou&Off
I will provide information on all future changes in the above as soon as possible.
I have been active in the community since 2004. In these years I have done a significant amount of volunteer work, spread over almost all areas of our software and community and enjoyed activities with the Dutch language community. Business wise I run my company Nou&Off - ‘FOSS office consultancy and training’ - and the past five years I’ve also been part of Collabora’s team.
I live in the Netherlands with a wonderful family, lovely activities in music (mostly singing and violin), a sailing boat that I seldom sail, some other sports, some local/regional activities, and the other blessings I may receive.
One of the most interesting and important challenges/lessons in life remains, to not let the consequences of our human imperfections damage our relationships and enjoyment of working together.
75 words statement
I am Cor Nouws and want to work with other members on the tasks and duties that are given to the Membership Committee by the foundations Statues. Also I will try to support the board in growing the community; I believe we have the capabilities, resources, to organize the education needed to grow a stronger contribution to our beautiful software, in an atmosphere of politeness, friendliness, understanding, and goodwill.
Looking forward answering any questions.
Thanks,
Cor
