I would like to know: In order to be in the board, what are you going to do *less*? In other words, what would the trade-off be for you? Are you going to spend less time in other GNOME activities (which ones?), family, work, etc.? If you are already in the board, what have you done less?

There are 2 posts this month on this mailing list that do not pertain to the idea of this mailing list. While it's OK for a user unaware of these things to post and we can address our replies to him/her only and point them in the right direction, however I think all active GNOME contributors (especially those who are new to the community) must be made aware of correct etiquette for posting on mailing lists *explicitly* while signing up by perhaps by giving a small description of what the subscriber can post on the mailing list? While it's easy to simply hit 'Delete' or look the other way at such queries for help, these attitudes do not align with the right spirit of Open Source and of GNOME as a community. I suggest we take a few proactive measures to minimize occurrence of such e</pre> Sindhu S 2013-05-23T18:27:02 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.foundation.general/9248 <pre>Hello everyone, Can anyone help me with this?

You are invited to ask the candidates questions by sending them to foundation-list. But please try to avoid duplicates and bear in mind, that the candidates invest a lot of time answering questions, thus please be reasonable with the amount and scope of the questions. You might want to send your question to membership-committee&lt; at &gt;gnome.org instead, so that we can collect, sift and sort the questions before we send them out shortly after the ballots were sent. But again: if you feel the need to ask your question directly, please do so. If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask them at membership-committee&lt; at &gt;gnome.org or elections&lt; at &gt;gnome.org. </pre> Andrea Veri 2013-05-22T15:30:27 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.foundation.general/9228 <pre>Hi, The GNOME Foundation Membership Committee is proud to announce our newly approved Foundation Members.

It's really awesome that you are willing to spend time on the foundation. It's also fantastic that we have so many fantastic new candidates this time around, and I have a question for you. One thing I find myself asking is: what do you think you will personally bring to the role if you are elected? In other words: why do you think that you will be a good board member? I don't expect an essay here, btw. :) Thanks again, Allan </pre> Allan Day 2013-05-21T10:12:45 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.foundation.general/9215 <pre>Hello all, First, thanks to all candidates for volunteering to the Foundation Board. We have a number of candidates running for a second term, and knowing what were these candidates' contributions to the Foundation in the past year is quite important for me as a voter. However, as per Zeeshan's questions, I find it hard to follow the Board's progress and accomplishments. I would like to know what are your ideas on improving the visibility of the Board's actions, and communication to Foundation members.

New infrastructure-announce mailing list --- From the 8th of May a new mailing list has been started for all the announcements about downtimes, outages, maintenances related to the GNOME Infrastructure. As a side note the mail you are currently reading will be the last that will be kept CCed on desktop-devel-list and foundation-list. Please take a little minute to subscribe yourself to the new list at [1] to not loose any of the updates from the GNOME Sysadmin Team. --- Jabber --- As you may have noticed our Jabber server currently doesn't allow you to add any JID not equal to JID&lt; at &gt;jabber.gnome.org, that means you can't chat with people having a JID registered on a different server than the one hosted on the GNOME Infrastructure. The problem is related to a specific firewall port not being open, we've taken action on it and the relevant port will be open really soon for the cli</pre> Andrea Veri 2013-05-17T19:41:25 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.foundation.general/9183 <pre>hi all; in compliance with the Foundation's charter, here's the notification that my affiliation has changed: I now work for Endless Mobile. ciao, Emmanuele. -- W: http://www.emmanuelebassi.name B: http://blogs.gnome.org/ebassi/ </pre> Emmanuele Bassi 2013-05-10T18:41:00 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.foundation.general/9146 <pre>We are looking into changing our irc server name from irc.gimpnet.org to irc.gnome.org and looking for feedback. Essentially, it's become problematic to have 'gimp' in the name of our server. To many, 'gimp' is an offensive term an given our dedication to a11y it seems counter-intuitive to have this name in our infrastructure. The proposal is to make irc.gnome.org be an DNS A record and we will continue to honor irc.gimpnet.org as a CNAME for one year in which case we will then remove it altogether. Other than the name of the server being changed and possibly any associated certs I do not forsee any other impact. Folks will have to change the name of the server they connect to, software like XChat will need to update their config files of default IRC servers to reflect the change. _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list&lt; at &gt;gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list </pre> Sriram Ramkrishna 2013-05-08T17:02:56 http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.gnome.foundation.general/9141 <pre>Hi, tomorrow I'll be performing an upgrade to our live.gnome.org's installation from 11:00 to 12:30 GMT+2.

The most important deadlines (UTC) in the timeline are the following: *GNOME Board Elections 2013* 2013-05-06: List of candidates opens. 2013-05-19: Last day to announce candidacies, submit summary statements. 2013-05-22: Final list of candidates. 2013-05-26: Instructions mailed to eligible voters, voting begins. 2013-06-09: Voting closes. 2013-06-11: Preliminary results are announced. 2013-06-18: Last day to challenge preliminary results.

I am in Montreal, and I would like to offer my help. From my understanding, the Summit would happen during the Canadian Thanksgiving (Oct 12-14). There is an opportunity to have this summit coincide with the LibreOffice Hackathon (LibreOffice by The Document Foundation). I was wondering if this would fit well with the GNOME Summit? Your logistics need are for 35-50 people. The LibreOffice Hackathon could easily double the size of a combined events. The obvious benefits would be a greater media coverage. Mid-October would be just two weeks before the municipal elections, and the use of open source software has been an issue in Montreal (and Quebec, and Canada to a lesser extent) for a number of years. I think it would be great!

I am absolutely thrilled! I am Sindhu. I come from a small coastal city called Mangalore in the south of India. I currently live and pursue school in Bangalore, India. I am finishing a Master's degree in Computer Science and I am to graduate in June. I previously worked worked at a government office before quitting to finish college and re-engage in my passion for FLOSS products and GNOME. I have been using GNOME for 8 years now, I have come wrangling all the way from random xserver crashes to admiring how pretty GNOME 3 is! When am not hunting for bugs to triage/file/fix, I love to read books (mostly fiction) and pack tasty meals for impromptu picnics :-) I hope to continue contributing in any and every way I can to this product that has radically changed the way I think about software and computing.

Some details about it: 1. Which software are we using? We're currently using Prosody [1]. 2. How JIDs will look like? JIDs will look this way: JID&lt; at &gt;jabber.gnome.org (this to prevent any confusion between the mail alias &lt; at &gt;gnome.org and the JID used for the jabberd service. 3. Who can register to the service? Registrations to Jabber are currently allowed and granted for Foundation members.

Upstream is currently working on a mail-based-verification to restrict registrations to the server to a specific range of emails, until that is done new users registrations will be handled manually by me.
