I've personally met Alexandre several times, at libreplanet
conferences. He's a good guy, and very passionate. He's completely
dedicated to the cause, and he's good at leadership (see: linux-libre)
and he's a good public speaker. 

I think he would be an excellent replacement for RMS as president of
the FSF.

I'm not on the board of directors, so I hope I don't seem presumptuous.
I'm just a concerned free software citizen who cares about the movement.
