Somebody said in the discussion that he felt bad whenever we had to reject a person applying for membership. Why does it happen that people apply that are not active? What can be done here?
It's very dificult to know what one particular people do for openSUSE. We can do, if he work on mailing list/wiki/forums. But there are many other places. Examples: do members have to: * speak english? how can we estimate non english activity? * work on the net? How can we estimate the field (entreprises, install fests, demo dvd spreading, teaching relatives)? * work specifically for openSUSE? Some very active people of upstream applications ask for membership. they work being GPL'd are used anuwhere. How can we know if they are openSUSE active fans? may be they coded this only for openSUSE on the beginning? Adding the fact than presently only a handfull of members work on the registration process! not enough! There should be at least one active registrator on any langage, known to be so, and the candidate instructed to send him they "registering evidences" jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://www.facebook.com/pages/I-support-the-Linux-Documentation-Project/3720... http://www.facebook.com/pages/The-fan-page-of-Claire-Dodin/106485119372062?v... -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse-project+help@opensuse.org
