Hey, comrades!
As most of you know, the MC is the team responsible for deciding on the inclusion of new members in the GNOME Foundation.
Recently, we had some difficult moments, and few people to do the work. Talking about it with Diego (dieguito), we decided to make this call for volunteers.
If you have free time (only a few minutes per day) and are willing to help, read about the work we do in http://live.gnome.org/MembershipCommittee and feel welcome to send me a mail (brunobol at gnome dot org) with a brief story about you and your relation with GNOME. Membership Committee is not a big team (5 people), but we have a great responsibility.
The requirements to be part of the Membership Committee are:
- be a GNOME lover;
- have some free time;
- be a member of the GNOME Foundation.
We need you!

Hello you all! Maybe you heard about Garfunkel. It’s a Simon clone that I’m writing (so slowly…). Now, I need a help with sounds. Do someone help?
I need these sounds:
- A (red, upper right, frequency=110Hz);
- A (green, upper left, an octave higher than the upper right);
- D (blue, lower right, a perfect fourth higher than the upper right);
- G (yellow, lower left, a perfect fourth higher than the lower right).
All the sounds must have 2 versions: a duration of 300 miliseconds and another with 400 miliseconds.

Dear lazy web,
How can I add some global keybindings in a GTK+ application? Something like GNOME-do does…

Take a look at “The Story of Stuff” and see how we are destroying our planet and how important is we change our life’s style.

I heard that there are several fans of ice cream in the GNOME project.
I created the page IceCreamDeathmatch. So, feel free to add your name (if you can “carry that weight”). There is no place, date and time defined yet. But it will happen!!!
Do not have much hope, because I will win!

Hello you all! Thanks for comments on my previous post. I’m a very encouraged artist now. 
I’ve selected the best name for the Simon clone: Garfunkel. Thanks to Christian Sasso, who suggested the name. Do you like it?
For those who wants the SVG, checkout it from the gnome-edu module at GNOME Subversion repository.
I’m working (slowly, because I have not many time) on the code and I’ll release it as soon as possible.
Dear Masters of the Coding Art,
What is the best way to draw the SVG (please keep in mind I’m writing a game) into the widget? Using LibRSVG and GdkPixbuf (as in Monkey-Bubble) or using rsvg_handle_render_cairo? Thanks for your very welcome help.

The new (temp) name of GSimon is Genius. I’m still checking for legal issues related to this name, but I think is a good name for a Simon clone.
Also, I left the direct drawing on Cairo to use librsvg (which can bring up different themes for the game). I’m not a good artist, so what you think about the default theme?
Comments are very welcome. I need an icon for Genius too.

I’ve worked in a game called gsimon, a Simon clone for GNOME. It’s my first code using Cairo and I hope will be the fist project of many others.
I’ll code some educational software/games and propose to add a “gnome-edu” module in GNOME. GNOME needs educational stuff.
What do you think about it?
