Hi All,

Just a general reminder that over the coming months there will be several decisions the openSUSE project will be making ranging from name and branding / logo through to the creation of a foundation, such issues will be decided via membership votes.

Anyone who contributes to openSUSE is able to apply for membership following the process listed at [1]. My guess is we have a number of contributors who have never applied for membership because voting for the board doesn't seem important to them, where as some of these other issues may be. If that is the case, now would be a great time to apply so that we don't flood the membership committee so much that it holds up the votes.

I applied, but membership application was declined.

1. https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Members I am sorry to hear that

As generic advice to anyone applying for membership, make sure to make some verifiable claim of your contributions, and make sure that your profile is publicly visible, members of membership comitee do not see your profiles otherwise. Hope it helps Martin
