Two names that I think ought to be on the list are Bastien Nocera and
Emmanuele Bassi. Both of them have been involved in the project for a
long time and both go that extra mile. I think of them both as people
who really believe in GNOME and work hard to make it a success.
Bastien does a lot of technical work in the background to keep GNOME
working well. This work often goes unnoticed but I always get the
impression that he really pushes hard to make the experience as good as
it can be. In addition to technical work, he's previously served on the
board, runs GNOME booths at events, has helped to restock the GNOME
events box, and most recently has been trying to organise a GUADEC bid
for Lyon.
Emmanuele has taken on some major technical initiatives which have been
crucial to the project, first with Clutter and now with the GTK Scene
Graph and Emeus. He's a former director, and he is involved in other
initiatives that are important for the project, for example by carrying
the continuous initiative.

Hi all,
GUADEC is coming up soon, and with GUADEC comes the annual Pants
Award.
Every year, GNOME awards a pair of pants to somebody in recognition of
their outstanding contributions. The board will make the final
decision
on who receives the pants, but we'd love to hear your nominations.
The award can be for any kind of contribution to our software or our
community. It does not have to be software development work. The only
requirements are that the person is attending GUADEC to receive the
pants, and that it's not a current or outgoing board member. Not sure
if the person fits the requirements? Just nominate! We'll sort it out.
Please feel free to send your nominations as a reply to this email.
Or,
if you'd prefer to nominate someone anonymously, email board-list.
Thanks,
Neil
