This actually misses one of the above requirements: contributions must be recent, thus if you last contributed 50 years ago but you plan to start contributing again from tomorrow, you won't be able to renew your membership. > Any time periods in mind? I think we never defined any time period but recent contributions can be considered the ones from the past month to past six months. (that also depends from case to case and from the amount of contributions the applicant did during his stay on the GNOME community) If applicant's contributions are not recent enough, the "planning to actively contribute in the future" requirement isn't taken into account at all, thus we wouldn't accept an applicant that did a non-trivial amount of contributions one or two years ago but applied today. cheers, Andrea
