Dear members of The Document Foundation,
First of all, I would like to say thanks to all my colleagues on the Membership Committee (MC) during 2016-2018. Being part of it has been a fantastic experience for me and I would be honoured to continue my collaborative work as a member of the MC in the next term.
Who I am:
I'm Gustavo Buzzatti Pacheco from Porto Alegre, Brazil. Husband, father, systems analyst. Gaucho, Brazilian and Latin American. I have been working in our Community since 2003 (in the age of OpenOffice.org), mainly in the Brazilian project in many areas (documentation, digital inclusion, marketing, extensions,...). I also have been contributed as reviewer on the Certification Committee, as volunteer in many Free Software projects and events in Latin America (FISL, softwarelivre.org,..) and spreading news with the @opendocument on Twitter.
Why I'm candidate to the MC again:
In 2016, I was elected for the MC with the objective to represent our global and plural project. During this time, I have been actively envolved in understand different scenarios and kinds of contributions of the members around the World, specially ones of the Neo-Latin languages speakers.
Inside the MC, my main task have been handling member applications and renewals with the mcm-script, an operational task but the core of many TDF's administrative procedures. I spend almost all my collaborative time on it, but I'm really glad to contribute doing this important and regular task. Now, after learn and use the mcm-script a lot, it's time to share the knoledgment about it. So, besides improve the relations with the members and the community, my objective in a new term is improving our internal processes based in the mcm-script.
