Contributions Summary:
I started using GNOME with Ubuntu 10.4 Lucid Lynx. Soon I learnt about gnome-shell and, following the 
instruction on the Wiki, I set up jhbuild and became a gnome-shell user even before GNOME 3.0 was released. I 
joined IRC with alias "antoniof" which I still use today. And that's how I got into the community and slowly 
started contributing.

I define myself as a mainly a bug triager, but I'm also interested in design. Also I can make simple patches. 
I'm mostly interested in nautilus, having followed it's development closely.

Although I was very active for more than two years around 2014, I didn't apply for membership because I 
wasn't aware I met the membership criteria. Then I went almost 2 years without significant contributions, but 
now I am active again and csoriano pointed me into this application form.

# Bug reporting, triage and fixing:

41 bugs reported 
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/buglist.cgi?email1=AntonioJPFernandes%40gmail.com&emailreporter1=1&emailtype1=substring&list_id=240628&query_format=advanced

Around the start of 2013, after I hunted for duplicate bugs, muelli (Tobias Mueller) talked to me on IRC and 
gave me permissions to edit bug on bugzilla a Bugsquad member.

I've triaged many bugs, mostly nautilus bugs, between 2013 and 2015. (I can't find a way to query bugzilla 
for bugs closed by me.) Then I was mostly inactive for two years. Now I came back into bug triage. This week 
I achieved top 3 bug closer. List of bug I closed the last 7 days 
https://bugzilla.gnome.org//buglist.cgi?bug_id=745264,745664,160634,747200,747278,680936,748118,748648,737849,748745,726912,683049,692755,697198,732123,46306,749513

I've contributed patches for 14 bugs and got most accepted and commited, half of them recently:

# Design contributions

I'm also interested in design and helped shape the current design of GtkPlacesSidebar. It all started with 
this playground page: https://wiki.gnome.org/Design/Playground/PlacesSidebar and evolved into this 
Whiteboard: https://wiki.gnome.org/Design/Whiteboards/NautilusSidebar. Most discussion happened over IRC, but 
Allan Day was awesome and credited me on his blog 
https://blogs.gnome.org/aday/2013/12/11/nautilus-next/#places
I kept following that feature and drew a mockup for an "Other Places" view, a replacement for the "Add Drive" 
dialog concept. Allan liked the idea, added his own tweaks and it became the "Other Locations" view we know 
today. I can't find now where I've posted that mockup, unfortunately.

# Informal community engagement

I've been active on Google+ helping fellow users, and explaining design changes using my 


I was never a foundation member because I didn't find it important to apply even when I was active
