							|  |  |  | <h3>GNOME Contributions</h3> | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | <p>Membership in the GNOME Foundation requires that the candidate has | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | contributed to a non-trivial improvement in the GNOME Project.  Please | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | use the following sections to explain how you have contributed to the | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | project, providing enough detail to allow the committee to verify your | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | application.</p> | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | <p>Please provide a short list of areas of GNOME to which you have | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | made a non-trivial contribution (for entry into the public membership list).  For example, | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | "Documentation, gnomecal, Debian packaging.":</p> | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | <textarea lines=2 cols=70 name="summary"> | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | </textarea> | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | 
 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | <p>Please provide a more detailed description of your contributions to | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | help the membership committee determine your eligibility.  In general, | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | anything listed above should be explained here, and additional | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | contributions can be included.  For example: "Wrote a chapter "How to | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | Use the GNOME Calendaring System" for the GNOME Users Guide.  Several | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | patches for gnomecal related to color support.  Packaged the 1.4 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | release for Debian.":</p> |

 | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | <p>Please list individuals (frequently, but not necessarily, project | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | maintainers) who can help the membership committee determine your | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | eligibility.  You should provide their name, e-mail address, and a | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | brief description of their role as a reference.  If there is nobody | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | you can think to list, feel free to suggest another way for the | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | committee to verify your contributions, such as a pointer to a project | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | ChangeLog, etc.  To continue the earlier example: "Dan Mueth | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | (d-mueth@uchicago.edu) (GDP coordinator); Russell Steinthal | 
					
						
							|  |  |  | (rms39@columbia.edu) (gnome-pim maintainer); packaging logs at |
