Post #964965

had a quick chat with @ptomato who pointed out that it isn't immediately obvious to all incoming #gnome directors that their responsibilities while sitting on the board are very different from those of a contributor. one of these aspects is donations: directors are *required* to fundraise. as a consequence, they are *expected* to donate. (it's very hard to ask for money for an organization you do not support financially yourself.) we'll make this expectation clearer in next year's election announcement — both directly, and by linking more visibly to the policies directors are required to sign: https://handbook.gnome.org/foundation/board-of-directors.html if you are thinking about running for elections next year, please start reading these documents now. :)
