Michelle Olson Nominated for OGB!

Monday Feb 26, 2007

David Comay beat me to the punch and nominated Michelle Olson, OpenSolaris Documentation Community Leader, for a position on the OpenSolaris Governing Board (OGB):

I would like to nominate Michelle Olson, one of the leaders of the Documentation Community, for the OpenSolaris Governing Board. I'm a Core Contributor to the Zones Community Group and strongly believe that Michelle has the talent, energy and creativeness necessary to be a strong representative for OpenSolaris. She has shown all of those attributes as a leader of the Documentation Community. dsc

I had talked with Michelle about nominating her before she left for Europe, and was sitting on the following nomination, which I included in my endorsement of her nomination:

I would like to nominate Michelle Olson for OGB. Michelle has been a leader of the OpenSolaris Documentation Community. While building and active and vital community on OpenSolaris, she has been a force in developing the processes for releasing documentation as open source for Solaris books and man pages, and getting it done. Her boundless energy has taken her outside the documentation community to other cross-team projects. Michelle authored the OpenSolaris Starter Kit, a project that was a collaboration effort between engineering, documentation, and Sun's Media and Production department. Michelle has worked with G11N to get localization projects started around documentation. Michelle is the consumate communicator, who responds to community inquiries and treats all participants with dignity and respect. Michelle has also been active in the Silicon Valley OpenSolaris Users' Group and has represented OpenSolaris at various conferences, including SIGCE, FOSDEM and OSDEVCon. Michelle has a passion for OpenSolaris, which coupled with the breadth of her experience, makes her an excellant nominee for OGB.

Michelle has also received endorsements from Ben Rockwood and Teresa Giacomini

Go Michelle!!! +1!!! benr.

Let's hope Michelle accepts the nomination!
