Summary:
Back in 2005 when I started using gnome I joined ##gnome (soon to be #gnome) on freenode to ask a question 
and then somehow forgot to ever leave. After a few days I started answering people's questions about gnome 
and gnome-related stuff and am still doing so today, often a couple of hours a day. As a result of that I'm 
following gnome development closely and read git changelogs and sources regularly. I can also be found on 
several gimpnet channels, but there are far more questions on freenode. I could paste years worth of IRC logs 
here, but I guess nobody would want to read more than the first hundred days or so ;). My nickname on both 
networks is "borschty".

And as I'm encouraged to list smaller contributions too:
Besides the IRC support in an (failed ;)) attempt to get listed in the changelog of every gnome-component I 
wrote patches for a few components. Here are some of those that got commited:
http://git.gnome.org/browse/cheese/commit/?id=971a4c7571cdb4216c123eb9a2ca22af3e4e339a
http://git.gnome.org/browse/epiphany/commit/?id=bcbdd353b9d91163b334ebe1961cdb3217a40837
http://git.gnome.org/browse/evolution-data-server/commit/?id=1c0439860e46f1df297805f402063af29ed2b024

Contacts:
Sriram Ramkrishna <sriram.ramkrishna AT gmail.com>, he accidentally discovered ##gnome and since then has 
been on that channel, too
Og Maciel <ogmaciel AT gnome.org>, after hearing from sri about my irc support he suggested that I should 
apply for foundation membership
