+
+ About the GNOME Foundation Advisory Board
+
+
+ The Advisory Board is made up of organizations and companies that support
+ GNOME. The Advisory Board has no decision-making authority but provides a
+ vehicle for its members to communicate with the Board of Directors and
+ help the Directors guide the overall direction of GNOME and the GNOME
+ Foundation.
+
+
+
+ Current Advisory Board members are listed in our about page.
+
+
+ Joining the Advisory Board
+
+
+ If your organization or company is interested in joining the Advisory
+ Board, please contact the Board of Directors.
+
+
+ Annual Fee
+
+
+ Advisory Board member companies pay an annual fee which helps finance
+ the operations of the GNOME foundation. The reports that are published by the Foundation show
+ how this money is used to help the GNOME project.
+
+ There are two levels for commerical companies:
+
+
+ - Small company: 1-49 employees. $5,000 / year
+ - Medium and large company: 50 or more employees. $10,000 / year
+
+
+
+ No fee is paid by the invited non-profit organizations that are part
+ of the Advisory Board.
+
+
+ Roles and Responsibilities of Advisory Board Members
+
+
+
+ -
+ Represents and advises on the needs of the primary downstream partners
+ served by GNOME.
+
+
+ -
+ Receives and actively provides input and discussion on topics sent to
+ the Advisory Board list or discussed at Advisory Board meetings. Topics
+ include things like financial reports, project status, and event
+ planning.
+
+
+ -
+ Promotes GNOME. The GNOME Foundation and Advisory Board members often
+ work together to promote GNOME, and members are expected to work with
+ the GNOME Foundation to promote GNOME when opportunities arise. For
+ example, by speaking about GNOME at industry events or at company or
+ government meetings where people are not familiar with GNOME.
+
+
+ -
+ Identifies/presents opportunities for collaboration and alerts GNOME to
+ significant relevant developments within other industries or working
+ groups. This can include things like suggesting a GNOME presence at an
+ established event or pointing out opportunities for partnership and
+ making introductions to other companies and organizations.
+
+
+ -
+ Helps the GNOME Foundation grow and improve as an organization.
+ Identifying services that the GNOME Foundation can provide for GNOME
+ Foundation members, Advisory Board members and GNOME users. This can
+ include things like suggesting a local event or project shortfalls
+ (documentation, integration, support) that could be addressed by GNOME
+ Foundation resources.
+
+
+ -
+ Provides mentorship and advice to community members working on projects
+ like marketing, finance and fundraising. Mentorship can be provided
+ directly by the Advisory Board member or by others in their company.
+
+
+ -
+ Ensures that their company is involved and engaged with upstream
+ discussion and events where relevant. For example, ensure that the
+ appropriate people are subscribed to the right forums and involved with
+ upstream decisions.
+
+
+ -
+ Attends and sponsors GNOME events that align with the Advisory Board
+ member's needs.
+
+
+ -
+ Offers guidance, advice and resources. This guidance can include not
+ only opportunities for how to acquire money but other ways to solve
+ problems. Examples include helping to solve our system administration
+ shortage, planning representation at events, etc.
