Re: [Fwd: Resignation from GNOME Foundation Membership Committee]

[Andy Tai <lichengtai yahoo com>]

Really hope Mike can reconsider. He did a lot of work
for the GNOME community without recognition. The
membership committee really needs your expertises and
experiences!

Also if the community thinks Elliot Lee and Martin
Baulig (whose made major contributions to GNOME core
libraries before the GNOME 2.0 release) should be
accepted, the Board may want to consider amending the
membership guidelines so major past contributions
should be considered, for these who are not active in
GNOME currently for whatever reason (jobs, schools,
etc.)
