now, THAT is what i call *real* progress towards transparency..
thank you Vincent and Pavol!!

but, i'm not certain the deliberations should be closed...kinda smacks
of secret police, dark corner cliques, and such... note: if people
didn't talk about me i would *not* be paranoid :-)

is there an established guideline on what are the minimum level of
contributions, or what?

is there a review or appeal process if an applicant is rejected?

what is the rate of rejection?

i ask because someone earlier (here or elsewhere) said there were now
~400 members and, i wonder why so few! huge rejection rate or gigantic
apathy??

i mean there must 100,000+++ openSUSE users, at least...if only 400
are members/contributors i think we have a problem much larger than
just not having a clear strategy for the future..

maybe we need to change one of the existing Community Statements to:

Increase contributor visibility and encourage each to become official
openSUSE Community Members though ... (increasing benefits or ???)
