Hi Pranali,
Thank you for applying to become a member of the Foundation. It's fantastic that you want to join us!
We only accept applications from GSoC/GSoD/Outreachy participants two months after their participation in the program ended -- unless you already were a GNOME contributor before it started.
Keep in mind that, in order to have your application accepted then, you're expected to have kept contributing to GNOME afterwards.
If you have any questions about this, please feel free to contact us by emailing membership-committee gnome org.
Thanks for your support to GNOME, and please do apply again in the future!
