 That said, please only apply for an account only if you think that you will work on Xfce for a somewhat longer time. If you know that you will only work for a couple of weeks and then never again, please consider not applying for an Xfce account but instead continue to put patches in the [[contribute:bugs:|bug tracker]]. That said, please only apply for an account only if you think that you will work on Xfce for a somewhat longer time.

-We also value if you show you work or patches before applying, so we have at least a bit of understanding what you're capable of and if the idea fits in the Xfce philosophy.+You can first publish your code on Gitlab.com, Gitlab.com or whatever platform to show what you have done before applying for an official Xfce account.
  
 The limitations are not there to exclude anyone -- they are there to ensure that the maintenance of accounts remains reasonable. Of course, to be clear: the Xfce sysadmins have the last word about whether or not to create an account for somebody.  The limitations are not there to exclude anyone -- they are there to ensure that the maintenance of accounts remains reasonable.

-Now you are ready to apply for for an Xfce contributor account. When you register, you will need to enter your name and an e-mail address, which has to be your own. Of course, do not forget that this __email address becomes public__ (at least through Git) so you will unfortunately get some spam as a result. 
- 
- 
-  - Send a mail to [[accounts@xfce.org]] containing the following information: 
-    - Your full name 
-    - Permanent email address 
-    - Requested account name ((lowercase letters a-z, the name should also be easily connectable to the full name, try to avoid nick-names)) 
-    - Explanation why you think you should get an account (in English please) 
-    - Attach (do not paste inline!) the public part of your passphrase protected SSH version 2 key pair (usually ''~/.ssh/id_rsa.pub'' or ''~/.ssh/id_dsa.pub''). Only attach one key, you can add more keys later [[contribute:dev:git:start#adding_and_removing_private_keys|yourself]]. 
-  - The sysadmin with reply to the email (this might take a couple of days).
