-- The GNOME Foundation is better with more members -- All we are surrounded by GNOME contributors that aren't members of the Foundation. They probably don't know much about it, don't think it's for them, don't dare to ask, leave it for next year (again?)... Bring them on board! The Foundation members are the first and best resources to get new members. In principle everybody investing time, brain and sweat in GNOME should be part of the Foundation, this is why it was created. Please help convince your projects neighbors, your mailing list colleagues, your IRC mates, your blog readers... As an example here is an attempt: A good moment to join the GNOME Foundation http://desdeamericaconamor.org/blog/node/310 -- The Board of Directors Election is better with more candidates -- All we have thought once that contributor X could be a great board member. Tell him/her! It's so easy to send an email saying "I think you could be a good board member, have you considered running for election?" As an example, I received one of these a year ago from someone I highly respect, which was a strong reason to be a candidate weeks later. I have sent already a couple of emails, and will send some more. There is so many great people around. Try it! It feels good. PS: Just to make things clear, I'm sending this email personally, not as an initiative of the board. Of course the board invites everybody to promote the Foundation and the elections. -- Quim Gil /// http://desdeamericaconamor.org
