    GNOME Contributions

    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.

    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.":

    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.":

    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 http://www.debian.org/packages/gnome/":
