Dear members & Board of Directors of The Document Foundation,
I’m candidate in the next elections to the Membership Committee.
Who I am:
I’m Gustavo Buzzatti Pacheco from Porto Alegre, Brazil. Husband, father, systems analyst. I have been working in our Community since 2003 (in the age of OpenOffice.org) in many areas of the Brazilian project (documentation, digital inclusion, marketing, extensions,…). I was elected for the Membership Committee in 2016 and re-elected in 2018 and 2020.
Why I’m candidate to the MC again:
Inside the MC, I have been responsible for handling members applications and renewals with the mcm-script, the core of MC. Since 2017, I submitted more than 1000 renewals and applications on Gerrit for voting by the MC members. Now, I’m running again to support the transition to the new MC Tool, contributing with my both mcm-script and internal process experiences.
I also, as a MC member, have contributed, organized or participated in many activities of the Ibero-American Community: certification sessions, BoD candidates sessions, online community meetings; sometimes in Portuguese, sometimes in Spanish or even in English. I’m proud to say that, in late August, we will have the second edition of the LibreOffice Conference Latin America, here in Brazil. I’m in the core team again, with a lot of responsabilities. I think it wil be an amazing opportunity to improve and explore our local community skills and I believe that contributing to reach goals like these and spread this experience to another local communities are part of the tasks of a MC member.

My 75 words official candidacy statement:
I want to continue my collaborative work inside the MC as responsible for handling applications and renewals with the mcm-script and, after, supporting the transition to the new MC Tool with my experience. I’m also engaged to representing our global and plural project, understanding different scenarios and kinds of contributions of the members around the World.
