Hi,

Andreas brings up a good point - we don't know what most new members do!

Welcome all, but I don't know any of you :)

Could we get the first line ("stuff I do in GNOME") of the membership
application added to the welcome emails of new members in the future? I
don't expect a novel - just "Brazilian user group guy", "Mono
developer", "Artist & graphic designer", "Maintainer of Parole", etc.

And for those who just joined, could you set the ball rolling by
replying to introduce yourselves in 1 or 2 lines, please?

Thanks!
Dave.

Great idea, Dave! Maybe we can change the application form to get this

Hi to all new members! Welcome!

Dear membership committee:

Would it be possible to include a small bio of these people when you
announce their membership? IIRC, applicants have to give it anyway, so
it's just a matter of copy-paste. Most new members don't introduce them
(no hard feelings for that), so it would be nice to have some way of
knowing who the unknown names are and what they do (that'll help
building bridges in the community).

This has been asked quite a lot of times before. Can we at least get an
official yes/no as to whether we'll see this happening?

Apart from that: keep rocking, you guys are doing a great job :-)

Cheers,
   Ruben

I'd rather have the new members introducing themselves instead. We did
it before, IIRC. Maybe the web page about the process should tell people
to subscribe to the mailing list before been approved as a foundation
member, and to reply to the welcome mail with that small biography.

Yes off-course, it would be better if all new members did that
themselves (some, but it's a minority, already do). But there will
always be those that don't. Suppose this member X happens to work on a
library that's very interesting for my project. If I don't know him/her,
nor does he/she send an introduction mail, how will I know? Chances are
I'll never know.

The Foundation exists to help the project forward. Getting people
introduced to each other is one of the things it can do to do this. The
least it can then do (and it takes almost no effort) is post those short
biographies. New members are always free to introduce themselves in more
detail afterwards.

Based on the email thread going, I thought I'd do a quick introduction.  I
was recently added to Planet GNOME too, where I did a similar introduction.

Anyway, I'm Paul, I've been using GNOME for about 10 years, and started
contributing in 2007, becoming much more active this year.  I've helped
write documentation for Tomboy and the User Guide, currently helping out
with Marketing and the gnome.org revamp, recently joined the Sysadmin team
and also serve as the release manager for GNOME Journal.

I'll be attending my first GUADEC this year thanks to the help of the
Foundation, and look forward to meeting people in person.

thanks Shaun for the warming welcome, and also thanks to the GNOME
Foundation Membership Committee for accepting my request.

I'll give just a brief introduction of myself to the list.

I'm Milo Casagrande, I'm part of the Italian GNOME translation team
maintaining different translations, doing QA on others' translations,
and if somebody disappear from the team I usually take care of their
translations for the time being. I'm also involved with the GNOME Doc
team: I wrote some of seahorse docs, most of Brasero docs and I'm
actually working on Empathy that it's going to be written in Mallard.
My non-GNOME participations are centered around the Ubuntu community
and translations in general.

Ciao.

Thank you Fred!
It is nothing compared with all the work you already have done ;)

I'd like to say thanks to Andre Klapper for all their support and of
course  to the GNOME Foundation Membership Committee for accepting my
request.

A brief presentation:

My name is Javier Jardón and I'm from Spain.
Currently I'm finishing my degree and my master [1] studies.

I started my contributions to Gnome some months ago, and I though that
GnomeGoals projects are a good place to start.
I've worked with the bugsquad team a bit too.
You can see my complete profile here [2] if you want.

I'm so happy to be part of GNOME foundation :). Thank you guys and

Dear membership committee,

Could you at least include a small description of these people when
sending out these announcements (it's part of the application,
copy-paste!)? I'd love to welcome them and collaborate with those that
work in related areas, but unfortunately I don't know all of them.

I've been bringing this point up since GUADEC 2008 in Istanbul and I
still haven't seen any response to it. It's a two minute effort, but it
would make the integration of new members so much nicer.

Is this possible please, or will I have to complain about this again in
six months?

Lovingly yours (I truly appreciate the work you guys do),
   Ruben

Hi there,

I'm the last guy. I've made a few small contributions to GNOME,
specially small patches to Evince. I was lucky because these patches
help me to obtain my Master Thesis on Free Software.

I'm happy for being "officially" part of GNOME :)

Why don't we ask the new members to give a short introduction
themselves?

That has been suggested before and it never happens. Only rarely does a
new member introduce himself/herself (kudos to them).

Okay, that's easy to solve.

We just make it a requirement for becoming a foundation member. And we
document this requirement on the live pages and in a welcome mail.

If they don't introduce themselves, we just unmember them a few days
later.

I'm guessing the foundation board can make a decision about this?  It
doesn't sound to me like something we need to do a vote on ;)


Cheers,


Philip

What about people who are 2 weeks on vacation right when the email
arrive, should they request again ?

Why go through all the hassle if we can just copy/paste the description
they already wrote :-) (also, the membership process can take some time,
does it mean we should stay home and monitor our mailboxes to watch out
for the 7-days introduction warning?)

Yeah, I just want some statement. A no is fine as well, as long as it
has a good reason. I've mentioned this quite a few times already now but
I never got a decent reply.

Oh, sure, we can give them some amount of time. Even months, if that's
really necessary.

> I'm for suggesting it in the welcome email, not for enforcing it

The problem is that without any such enforcement, the rule is pointless
and will lead to the current situation where some new guys do and a lot
of others don't introduce themselves.

Clarity isn't a bad thing when making rules, in my opinion. Unclear or
vague rules make more people unhappy than clear ones do.

Philip

We'll do it next time. Sorry about forget this.
An alternative is change the announce mail to request the information
from new members.

I really hope we don't need rules for this. It's not really a good way
to welcome people to first tell them "hey, if you don't do this, we kick
you out".

yes, I agree with this. We just can't enforce someone to send an intro 
mail to the list, but we can just say it's highly recommended to do 
it. (changing the announce mail script would be a nice fix)

Also we can't remove someone's membership just because an intro did 
not get sent to the list. We just need to remember that every 
Foundation Member contributed to GNOME in a substantial way and 
therefore I would absolutely disagree on removing his membership just 
for this.

That said, we are setting up a meeting for the Membership Committee 
really soon and we will take care of having this issue fixed.

Any suggestion is welcome in the meantime.

Hello folks!

My biggest contribution to the GNOME project so far was the split-view
mode for Nautilus (well, the version that Alex based his review on, of
course).

Other than that, I listed some recent modest contributions and
areas of interest in my application form:
http://mail.gnome.org/archives/membership-committee/2010-February/msg00018.html

Other than that, I'm a Germany-based free software enthusiast.
On the non-GNOME FOSS background side, I am a team member of the Claws
Mail MUA.

And of course, I am totally exciting to be part of the GNOME foundation
now!

Just to point out that the process for becoming a foundation member is
already quite intimidating - one has to ask, suggest people who can give
"references", give reasons why one is worthy to join the club, and often
wait weeks or months for any reaction. Often the reaction is "your
references haven't gotten back to us". We also don't hear about the
people who hear back "sorry, you haven't proven yourself yet, try again
later".

People joining the foundation have already included a lot of information
in their application - Ruben's suggestion that that be included in the
welcome mail is a reasonable one.

Cheers,
Dave.

OTOH we've had complaints about that we should clean up the membership
list (remove old inactive members, I recall that came from you). So
apparently the existing base wants some sort of quality? Fair enough.

I also don't think that introducing yourself is asking too much. It
feels natural to me to expect that from a new member, to be honest.

Membership does come with services, having to briefly present yourself
is a small price to pay for that.

If becoming a foundation member is intimidating, then we should try to
find out why. We shouldn't avoid adding reasonable new requirements.

In my opinion can clear requirements (that count for everybody) make
things less intimidating. Whereas vagueness is counterproductive here.

Clarity works.

You're mixing up things.

I think I mentioned, in the context of planet GNOME maintenance,
removing the blogs of people who have somehow "left" GNOME. On another
occasion I also mentioned that GNOME has had considerable turnover and
we might want to ask ourselves why - which of those are you thinking of?

The membership committee already has a renewal process built in -
members are supposed to renew every 2 years (although now that I think
of it, I don't remember the last time I got that). Typically, people
only tend to look when elections are coming up whether they're still a
member or not.

> I also don't think that introducing yourself is asking too much. It
> feels natural to me to expect that from a new member, to be honest.

I see it as similar to bringing a new person into a club, or taking a
date to a party.

You don't expect the new person to make the effort to present themselves
to everyone, the host introduces them and breaks the ice, or the
existing members come over & say hi. What you're asking is the
equivalent of going up to someone in a party & saying "so, who're you
then?" Isn't it more natural for someone to say "Hi everybody, this is
Gladys, she's just moved here from Tijuana, where she ran a very
successful drug smuggling and illegal immigration business. Let's show
her a big welcome tonight, okay?"

I'm with you on this Vincent, although I'm the last one to want to
throw this thread into another argument about rules...

I would compare this to, for instance; when you read the guidelines
for wrapping a release of your module, it doesnt say we'll burn you
if you ever forget to tell i18n-list or something, but I think people generally
want to collaborate and want to know their work is appreciated.

Personally I think that years ago when I joined it would have made me
feel like GNOME was a warmer place if the introduction was politely required,
otherwise to some it might come across like nobody cares that somebody
took such an interest in GNOME.

Not to mention it would be very interesting to me at least; to know
why new members have taken an interest in GNOME.

I think this is a very good point that you make, Tristan.

Politely requiring such an introduction isn't intimidating for
everybody. It might even be welcoming.

Yes, to me too.


Again, as I said before, clarity isn't a bad thing.
