Contributions Summary:
I am interested in applying for membership in the Gnome Foundation.  Admittedly, the vast majority of my work 
has been with the Sugar Labs and OLPC downstreams, but I have (and will continue to) reach out to "show some 
love to the upstream".

The warm relationship between the Gnome Foundation and the Sugar Labs and OLPC downstreams are a matter of 
record:

http://www.gnome.org/press/2010/06/sugar-learning-platform-and-gnome-desktop-now-shipping-on-the-one-laptop-per-child-xo-1-5/

My participation in these downstream communities dates back to 2007.  My involvement with L10n dates back to 
April of 2008.  Since somewhere in 2008 - 2009 I took on the role of Sugar Labs Translation Team Coordinator. 
 More recently, elected by community to Sugar Labs Oversight Board for two-year term in 2011  In my capacity 
as Sugar Labs Translation Team Coordinator I have performed extensive outreach to our upstreams.  Notable 
accomplishments of that out-reach effort as related to Gnome have been:

a) Creating a "trail of breadcrumbs" in our Pootle instance and wiki to direct our substantial L10n community 
to upstream projects we use.

b) Establishment and maintenance of an "OLPC Release Set" on the Gnome Damned Lies server, allowing our 
localizers to easily identify the Gnome bits that flow downstream to Sugar / OLPC for the purpose of 
targeting their upstream efforts in these areas after exhausting the local supply of strings.  Claude Paroz 
created it, I maintain it.

c) Established hosting of Gnash L10n (coordinating with Rob Savoye) on our Pootle instance:

d) Coordinated with GCompris leadership (Bruno Coudoin) on temporary local hosting of GCompris PO files in 
"rarer" or non-glibc locale languages on Sugar Labs Pootle instance.
