I work for GSyC/LibreSoft [1], a research group at Universidad Rey Juan Carlos in Spain mainly focused on libre software engineering. GNOME, both as a project and as a community, is present in a lot of our studies, mainly because in the group there are people already involved in the GNOME community like Alvaro del Castillo[2] and me[3]. So, we are very interested in participating here, since we are already a link between GNOME and research world. > So, how do we make this happen?
