Re: GNOME Membership Application of Gabriel Burt

[Larry Ewing <lewing novell com>]

Sorry, I completely missed this thread.  

Gabriel has made valuable  contributions to F-Spot in both code and bug
triage.  He has done significant work on both the F-Spot user interface
and the underlying database and has taken initiative on new development
directions.  Additionally He has also shown a great deal patience and
understanding of release constraints.

I fully support his membership.
