There is not, and there should be. I was working on this a while ago,
but got sidetracked. I have a partial list. Ideally, we'd have a nice
page with photos and blurbs on what each of the pants winners did.

Is there a list somewhere of past recipients of the award?  A quick
check turned up individual mentions of the award, but no comprehensive
list.  It seems like gnome.org ought to have such a list somewhere.

Correction: To keep the suspense, please send your nominations just to
the board at board-l...@gnome.org, instead of to this list.

Thanks,
Shaun

Send us your pants nominations

2016-07-18 Thread Shaun McCance
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,
Shaun
