Alex is an active member of the GNOME community.  Besides the typical 
stuff like filing bugs, helping users in IRC, etc, he has provided 
patches to several projects, including Banshee and Tasque.  For Tasque, 
he greatly expanded our DBus interface to make it much more usable by 
applications like GNOME Do.  His greatest contribution to the GNOME 
community is the work he does on GNOME Do, which is an extremely popular 
and useful app for which he is one of the lead developers.  Although Do 
is not hosted on GNOME's infrastructure, it is widely used and loved in 
the GNOME community, and Alex and the rest of the team work with 
upstream projects and various distributions to guarantee the quality of 
their project.

I would happily recommend Alex Launi for membership in the GNOME foundation.

Thanks,
Sandy
