Hello,
I do not have at hand the letter that is received by people asking to be a member but with no or nearly no contribution, and so refused.
I think this letter is much too rude, and that it's a waste of good will not to make some sort of follow up. There are not so many :-)
I would prefer/suggest to start with pointing out what is wrong/rude in current letter.
So I dug up the letter, we can discuss it and see where are places for improvements:
Hi <username>,
everybody is welcome to participate and get involved in the openSUSE project and we grant membership for those that have shown a continued and substantial contribution to the openSUSE project. Membership officials have rejected your application since that does not apply to you. We just found too little contribution and encourage you to get more involved with openSUSE and then apply again for membership.
As a person new to openSUSE you might check the "How to Participate" which gives a variety of possibilities, http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:How_to_participate to start contributing. Or you join our bi-weekly project meeting to see what' going on, http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:Meetings
If you disagree with the decision, please send an email to membership-officials@opensuse.org
You can start contributing to openSUSE right away, you do not need to become a recognized openSUSE member,
Best Regards, Membership officials
Lots of room for improvement, my suggestion """" Hi <username>, Thank you for your contributions so far to the openSUSE Project. All contributions are important and valued. After review of your application for membership, we were unable to verify a contribution level that would warrant us to accept your application at this time. However, this does not preclude you from applying again in the future after you have had a chance to be more involved with the openSUSE projec t. If you need additional information about how to get involved the following might be a good starting point http://en.opensuse.org/Portal:How_to_participate. We are looking forward to seeing additional contributions from you and hope that after some time of continued substantial contributions you will re-apply to become an openSUSE member. If you feel your contributions meet the definition for membership and we were just not able to find your contributions please e-mail us at membership-officials at opensuse dot org Regards, Memebrship team """" Later, Robert - -- Robert Schweikert MAY THE SOURCE BE WITH YOU Public Cloud Architect LINUX rjschwei@suse.com IRC: robjo -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJVbK1OAAoJEE4FgL32d2Uk5boH/2MU+HbTJ04eK3qevgRpJ0FD AklbB/M+SXh09y+xYSYYYd7k0wCtLp9pzvkz9f2rgJ7R/lzYCKsaAZX9tTOcQZ8Z fFXuZHIazKt37d/ksdiMa1CMoc06t+QjBYSYb0cr6h5pndH6MO9YNQj32M9y8tv+ 0ANv+/Rizkx3wGZTq13g6pPt8lcuPqlvgJ3IVpHPgHFt+RxDIzCjZzFXw20rUO3b flOEqbBQrqqZpVmTcQf4VMFBpAEXtuYrKc1xWk1oVnySiAyoULj4GG8hgt2KpE1q JSi2z7XClB1rqW64tSKcSxPBUClLziNezYC0S5t6DRDQUutApl/yEdXqlcHIrFA= =NRW5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
