Thank you for your submission. It has been forwarded to the Membership Committee, which will inform you when it has been processed. The Membership Committee tries to process applications within a week or two after their reception.

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

    Please provide a detailed description of all your past and present contributions to help the Membership Committee determine your eligibility to join the Foundation. Remember that any contribution made for the GNOME Foundation is valid, so either if you package GNOME software for a certain distribution (like Debian, Ubuntu or Fedora), translate, develop, write documentation or simply sponsor GNOME through talks and conferences, you will be definitely welcome to join the GNOME Foundation.

    Vouchers / Contacts Informations

    Please list at least two contacts (project maintainers or most of all existing Foundation members) who can confirm your contributions or indicate to the Membership Committee the best way to verify your contributions. You should provide their name, a valid e-mail address to contact them, and a brief description of their role as a reference. Remember that two contacts are mandatory for an application to be accepted.
