Indeed. We know that we slipped up this year.

It wouldn't harm! It is noted down in the board wiki pages, but it
obviously got missed this year.

In the future, I'd like us to have a calendar with deadlines in the
run up to GUADEC...

I have a number of questions about the events Code of Conduct. Is there
another way to submit questions rather than only during the AGM?

The reason for asking is that in my experience the time during the AGM
is stretched every year. So it seems unlikely that I will be able to
ask more than a single questions during the Q period.

As usual, this year's GNOME Foundation Annual General Meeting will be
taking place as part of GUADEC. The details are as follows:

  - Time: 16:30
  - Date: Saturday 7th July 2018.
  - Location: The Auditorium, University of AlmerĂ­a, Spain

The meeting will include an introduction to the new Board of Directors, a
report on the previous 12 months, and a Q session with the board.


According to the bylaws of the Foundation (Section 7.4), 30 days notice 
is required for an AGM, whereas this notice only gives 4 days notice. I 
suppose that there will not be any issues for the membership to vote on, 
so maybe it does not make much difference.


I am not sure of the best place to add this for future GUADECs, but 
maybe https://wiki.gnome.org/GUADEC/HowTo/CheckList would be suitable?

GNOME Foundation opens recruitment for further expansion

2018-07-06 Thread Neil McGovern
Hi all,

I've just posted the following item to our site:
https://www.gnome.org/news/2018/07/gnome-foundation-opens-recruitment-f
or-further-expansion/

tl;dr: we're recruiting!

We're currently looking to fill four posts:
* Development Coordinator
  This will ensure that we receive sufficient funds to continue our
work delivering free software - it should be noted that this isn't a
software development coordinator!
* Program Coordinator
  The Program Coordinator will free up time from those involved in
organizational, administrative and logistical problems
* Devops/Sysadmin
  The systems and services we run need proper maintenance and care. As
Flathub continues to grow, more support is needed to achieve this.
* GTK+ core developer
  GTK+ is core to our entire platform. Investing in development and
maintenance of this toolkit will benefit the whole GNU/Linux ecosystem.

We're keen to hear from any person who is interested in applying for
one of these posts. Details on how to apply and the application
deadlines can be found on the Foundation’s Positions Available page at 
https://www.gnome.org/foundation/careers/

I hope everyone is having an awesome time at GUADEC,
Neil
