hi! It's been a lot since my last mail to foundation-list about the GNOME Membership Committee status and therefore it's now time to share with all the GNOME community the latest changes and news from our (hopefully) beloved committee.
Down here I'll try to briefly summarize in a few points the most important news and changes from our team: - Susana Pereira left the committee, I would like to thank her for all the work she's been doing for the committee over this year. - Christer Edwards, our paid sysadmin team leader joined the committee. His enthusiasm and willingness to help out will speed up our duties. Welcome into the team, Christer! - Finally the outdated application.php [1] received an update that should go live really soon! (preview at [2]). We tried to make the application form more simple and readable will less fields and more instructions about the process in general. Any feedback from the community is welcome to improve it time by time! - Requisites to join the foundation have changed: now *at least* two vouchers/contacts/sponsors are mandatory for an application to be processed and eventually accepted. We think the applicant should be known into the community since some time before joining and most of all he should provide us a valid list of contributions together with two (or more) vouchers confirming his involvement and passion for GNOME. - I managed to clean up our tickets queue [3] and now all tickets have been answered back and are awaiting an answer. We are on top of requests and I'm sure there won't be any delay processing new applications from now on. - there will be some changes to come on how foundation members are handled in Mango at the moment, but this will take time and hard work, so it won't happen in the near future. That's all for now! If you need any other informations, feel free to follow up or contact us via mail.
