Woohoo! I received this mail some days ago:
Dear Rafael Villar Burke,
We are pleased to inform you that you are now part of the GNOME
Foundation Membership. You are now eligible to become a candidate
for election and to vote in the annual Board of Directors elections
held each November.[…]
For more information about the GNOME Foundation, visit the GNOME
Foundation’s web page at:
http://foundation.gnome.orgThanks for your contributions to GNOME.
Sincerely,
The GNOME Foundation Membership Committee
Some years ago I would have dreamt about this, but never thought it could become true. I’m really happy both for the membership and for what it means :).
Hey Pachi, congratulations! I’m not sure what it means to be on the GNOME foundation but it sounds good!
Thanks, Jaime. It just means that you’re honored with the right to vote and be eligible due as a result of having made non trivial contributions to the project.
It’s a way to feel a bit more involved in the whole project.
