Hi,
  Sorry for the delay in replying, but I had a really hectic time the
last couple of days.

I am not sure what criteria you use to evaluate a candidate's
eligibility for membership, so I hope that I am addressing the correct
areas. Also, I presume that this is confidential.

Subhransu has certainly done a lot of work for Oriya localisation of
GNOME. From our initial efforts, we had struggled to get some 10-15%
of GNOME translated, and he has almost single-handedly brought this
up to the healthy current figure of 69% of GNOME 2.16. He has also
been doing some work in improving Oriya fonts, and rendering.
Unfortunately, there is not yet a thriving Oriya localisation community,
but the failing there has been equally ours, and the fact that there is
probably not yet a sufficiently large base of open-source Oriya users.

Regards,
Gora
