After my last blog post Murray Cumming asked me to replace him on the release team. I said I wanted to help and Murray showed me where I could be helpful and where I could learn a great deal. Hopefully there will be others who wish to get involved in some of the other aspects of GNOME. I am going to use this opportunity to learn more about the inner workings of the machine we call GNOME. It is after all about more than just the code we write. Hopefully I can glean enough insight to use towards being helpful in getting others to join these efforts. I hope I have also empower those who wish to help out but don’t know where to start to ask around.

Well, I apparently failed your captcha the first time (a letter was either a W or M and was impossible to distinguish between the two–I guessed wrong) and lost my post, so I’ll summarize.
I’m excited to hear that you want to empower others to get involved. We’ve tried to do more in that direction with the release team in particular (e.g. http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2005-October/msg00064.html and an older too-scary-to-the-community-version at http://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2004-September/msg00361.html), but we still have a ways to go I think.
