It's indeed a pity that we can't nominate Carlos but last I checked with him, he's happy getting rewarded with votes (in the board elections) and beers too. :) -- Regards, Zeeshan Ali ___ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list

Hear hear. I'd like to support this nomination as well. Sri has also organized LAS GNOME, coordinated the action against Groupon's use of the GNOME name, and numerous other things. ___ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list

* Sriram Ramkrishna for his community work, which is a list too long to summarize here +1, and just to be effusive about why... Sri has continually contributed to GNOME's PR, bringing life to the engagement team and looking out for newcomers generally. He's always enthusiastic and the fact that he's maintained this for so many years in the project is incredible. He's willing to do the work that other people aren't - he's spend countless time at GNOME booths, writing GNOME materials, and running interference for the project. On a very personal note, Sri took the time to be present on so many hate threads about GNOME, OPW about me, bringing irrefutable truth (with back-up links) when the internet was full of lies, exaggerations and threats. Without him and other GNOME volunteers who jumped into the fray on multiple occasions, I surely would have left free software. karen ___ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list

While I can’t find this stated explicitely anywhere, I believe we won’t award the pants to someone who already got them in the past. Even if that is not a rule, there is no lack of deserving candidates (as shown by this thread) and we probably want to find a different recipient every time. Let me seize this opportunity to remind the membership about https://wiki.gnome.org/Pants and reiterate the call for help to make it more complete and accurate.

Re: It's time again for pants nominations
I nominate Rob McQueen for setting up, arranging donations for, and administrating Flathub. I also nominate Federico Mena Quintero for pioneering the use of the Rust language in the GNOME stack. I also second Sri Ramkrishna's nomination for continuing to engage in a constructive manner with the /r/linux community despite the obvious difficulties.

Re: It's time again for pants nominations
Thanks Nirbheek :) I think the rule is because the board choose them, so me being on the board would stop that. In any case, I got enough credit for the GitLab effort (thanks all), it's my hope that the pants goes to someone else that has done as much or more for GNOME but goes more unnoticed.

Fwd: It's time again for pants nominations
I nominate Carlos Garnacho. Carlos has been actively part of our community for more than (I believe) 15 years. He has been involved in various projects that interact with very different components of our stack: Gtk+, Tracker, Mutter, Wayland, you name it! He has also collaborated with apps that consume his backend work, such as GNOME Music and the other core apps (sharing his Tracker expertise). Contributing not only in code, Carlos has mentored and co-mentored outreach students in GSoC and Outreachy, and has been always very helpful with newcomers. He has attended many of our conferences and is one of the most cherished members of our community. ___ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list

I really wanted to nominate Carlos Soriano for all the work done with the migration to GitLab, but he's a board member! Why does this requirement exist? I don't remember :) I also want to nominate: * Christian Hergert for his work on end-user developer tooling, such as GNOME Builder and Sysprof * Sriram Ramkrishna for his community work, which is a list too long to summarize here Cheers, Nirbheek ___ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
It's time again for pants nominations
Hi all, GUADEC is coming up soon, and with GUADEC comes the annual Pants Award. Every year, GNOME awards a pair of pants to somebody in recognition of their outstanding contributions. The board will make the final decision on who receives the pants, but we'd love to hear your nominations. The award can be for any kind of contribution to our software or our community. It does not have to be software development work. The only requirements are that the person is attending GUADEC to receive the pants, and that it's not a current or outgoing board member. Not sure if the person fits the requirements? Just nominate! We'll sort it out. Please feel free to send your nominations as a reply to this email. Or, if you'd prefer to nominate someone anonymously, email board-list. Thanks, Didier ___ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
