Renewing your membership

Membership in the GNOME Foundation lasts for two years. You will be
contacted to renew your membership before it expires. Renewal applications
are not automatically accepted. Please remember that membership’s renewals
shouldn’t be considered a mere formality, as the Membership Committee will
do the needed checks to verify applicant’s contributions over the past two
years.

I have an online education project. Starting this month (February 2018),
I'll being to provide online sessions (videos) about FOSS and definitely
GNOME is among the topics I'd like to discuss.
