Yeap but on the other hand there are people that are not members(yet ?!?) and contributed and members that are not active anymore and they did not contributed on 11.4.
The not active anymore is something we have to sort out with the foundation as well - yeah...
Oh god, it is really difficult to decide whom to leave in and out. Come on people, Feedback...
Yeah, please! ;)

This is my thought on what to give once we pick who are contributor.
I think would be a great award, and you could make up a couple thousands. Are pins with the Geeko, I know Carlos has made a few. With the phrase "I Contribute!". Along with this pin the person get a nice cert that they can frame that states for their work for contributing to the openSUSE Project on such and such. The pins can be made for a couple dollars, and cert for about 50 cent to a dollar.
Now for people like Manu and others that go way and beyond, then it would be up to board to give them some nice little award. In fact, maybe every year pick the one person that has gone out their way high light their work to the project. Then maybe pick four others that have done as much.
Flash Drive a expensive. If I had to guess the same price as boxset.
I like this approach Chuck mentioned. I made Tux lapel or pin and people loved it. They did anything to get it. It would be nice receiving a openSUSE pin and a nice Recognition Letter with Recognition Certifcate. I believe most people would feel good with those and increase their valuable contribution. it is possible to organize levels of contribution ( Silver, Gold, Platinum, Premium or Emerald, Ruby, Diamond ) and areas for contribution (programming, admin, social networking & marketing, wiki maintainer, documetation, translating, bug fixing, tutorial builder, package maintainer, testers, etc.), It's another stuff wether It's possible to make recognition in areas (it will improve the people integration beyond coders) making a complet community. If it's possible to give a special recognitions using voucher or discount (i.e. LPI certification, Books, etc.) will be a plus. The good part it does not need to send a package anywhere. ;-) These are my ideas at this moment. Hope is helpful.
