To apply for membership in the GNOME Foundation, please complete the following form as completely as possible. Your application will then be reviewed by the Foundation's Membership and Elections Committee, which will notify you when your application has been accepted or rejected; the committee may also ask you for additional information. For details on the standards used in evaluating applications, see the GNOME Foundation membership policy, adopted by the Board of Directors.

Please consider reading Application Tips page so as to get informed about what kind of information is helpful to make your application processed faster.

Once you have applied, you will get a ticket number per email and you can see the status of your application at the stats page. If you have any questions regarding the application process, please feel free to e-mail the committee at membership-committee@gnome.org.

    Note about privacy

    The GNOME Foundation tries to be as transparent as possible. This includes making it easy to find out who is a member of the Foundation and why an application is accepted or denied. Thus, all the information you will submit through this form will be publically available: the form will send an e-mail to a mailing list whose archives are publically available on the Internet and your application will be accessible through mail archives.

    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 and foundation members) 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. To continue the earlier example: "Dan Mueth (d-mueth@uchicago.edu) (GDP coordinator); Russell Steinthal (rms39@columbia.edu) (gnome-pim maintainer)".
    Beware that applications without contacts take relatively longer to process.

    If there's nobody you can think of, please list pointers to your contributions here: If there is nobody you can think of for contacts, feel free to suggest another way for the membership committee to verify your contributions clearly, such as a pointer to a project ChangeLog, etc. For example: "packaging logs at http://www.debian.org/packages/gnome/"
