Re: Call for volunteers: looking for new Membership Committee members

[Gaël CHAMOULAUD <strider gnome org>]

Hi Vincent,

I'm ready to work with you on the Membership committee.
My name is Gaël CHAMOULAUD and I'm a GNOME french lover :) 
I'm working on http://www.gnomefr.org. My main task is 
to promote GNOME in the french-speaking countries.

Best regards,

Gaël (strider)
