I'm feeling brave, so I'd like to apply to join the membership team.
How do I apply?

Cheers,
James

Changes on the GNOME Foundation Membership Committee

2014-04-10 Thread Andrea Veri
Dear Foundation Members,

the GNOME Foundation Membership Committee reviewed its members list 
and two free spots were found. In particular I would like to thank 
Pedro and Federico for serving the Committee during all these months. 

Lately the membership queue has been delayed in being processed for a 
lack of man power and we're therefore looking for one or two more 
members to join our ranks. Given mentoring new members requires time 
and efforts to the current members I'd suggest you to apply 
for the open positions only in the case you have at least 1-2 hours 
per week to contribute to the team. (and you are an existing member of 
the GNOME Foundation)

Being part of the GNOME Foundation Membership Committee takes in the 
following responsibilities:

- Learning the team's policies and procedures listed at [1].
- Processing the applications that are sent to our Request Tracker 
  istance [2], and eventually welcome new Foundation Members that 
  have enough contributions for their membership application to be
  accepted.
- Participate at meetings. We don't plan many nowadays, but surely
  2 or 3 per year.
- Help organizing the Board of Directors elections each June before
  GUADEC.
- Make sure you are connected to our IRC channel (#membership on
  irc.gnome.org)


Thanks for your attention!
