Dear Foundation members,

You are invited to attend this year’s Annual General Meeting (AGM) for
the GNOME Foundation, which is traditionally co-hosted with our annual
GUADEC conference. We’re pleased to be able to say that this year’s AGM
is a hybrid event welcoming in-person and remote participants at this
year’s GUADEC in Guadalajara, Mexico.

About the AGM

Every year, the GNOME Foundation’s Board of Directors sets aside some
time at GUADEC for the Annual General Meeting (AGM). Foundation and
community members are invited to attend the AGM and hear updates on
what has been happening at the GNOME Foundation for the last year, and
also to get to know the new Board members and ask any questions that
they may have. If there are any items requiring a vote by the
Foundation membership to resolve, a vote can be conducted at the AGM.

Why attend?

Besides getting an update on what has happened at GNOME over the last
year, and getting to know some of the GNOME Foundation leaders, there
will be other fun things planned too. Hopefully we’ll be able to take
our group photo for in-person participants, and you can learn who will
receive our annual Pants Award (en_GB: trousers!) for a deserving
community contributor - we’re currently accepting nominations for the
Pants Award.

Details for this year’s meeting

 * Time: 10:35am US Central, 15:35 UTC
 * Date: Thursday 21st July 2022
 * Location: Guadalajara Connectory, Guadalajara, Mexico
 * Online attendees: Please register for GUADEC to receive online
   participation instructions.

Agenda for this year’s AGM (subject to change)

 * Introduction to new Board of Directors, officers & committees
 * Reports on the previous 12 months: financials, updates from
   Executive Director & President
 * Upcoming strategy and priorities for the board
 * Q&A
 * Pants Award
 * Group Photo

If you are a member of our community who has contributed significantly,
we encourage you to apply to become a GNOME Foundation member as soon
as possible so that you can participate more fully in events like our
AGM, board elections and other member votes. See the Foundation
webpage for more information on how to apply for Foundation membership.

The Board is looking forward to seeing you at the AGM whether in person
or online, and to celebrating our achievements over the last 12 months.
If you have any questions before the meeting, please let us know and
we’ll do our best to answer them.

Thanks,
Rob McQueen
President, GNOME Foundation Board of Directors
