It's probably worth mentioning that there are potential board members,
who may not be able to write a line of code, but could bring valuable
marketing, fundraising or legal skills that would benefit GNOME.  

Many non-profit organizations actually recruit board members who can
contribute experience and money to help fulfill the organization's
mission.
