        LibrePlanet. I suspect she can be found in a number of the videos
     for
        previous years.
        I was more like talking about this^
        There is like no information about her (that i can find) the only
        things are FSF quoting what she allegedly said in a blog posts,
     she
        never talks to anyone on IRC or in mailing lists (i never seen
     her talk
        and neither did the 5 people that i asked), she doesn't even
     respond to
        people congratulating her here to replace RMS and the first thing
     that
        comes up about her on the internet is OSI website
        I didn't meant to be insulting or disrespectful, but she doesn't
     strike
        me as a trustworthy person in relation to FSF and Free Software
        movement nor as someone who cares about it at all and is just
     mostly
        used by FSF to show that they have a _one_ women in the team to
     avoid
        people like me accusing them of gender inequality (which they are
     and
        more steps should be taken about it)..
        Like what could possibly be the reasoning for her to be the
     person to
        be in such a critical position especially when there are people
     that
        are most likely significantly more qualified such as Ian Kelling?
        I would at least think that FSF would actually go on it's promise
     to
        make the role election democratic and allowed the associate
     members to
        vote on candidates.
        that said i will most likely support her if RMS supports her to
     be in
        such position
