Back to Jim's question, Robert's proposal eliminates the need to define inactivity. It is to be based on an honor system. If you are contactable in some way, you will be reminded to fill out a form for membership update/renewal. In that form is some sort of check box where you state "Yes I have done something in the past 2 years."
Robert's proposal thus suggests we accept that checkmark on face value and automatically retain the membership status. Yes some people could abuse this privilege, but in the grand scheme of things, why would you care to retain your membership if you have walked away from the Project for so long? And the membership team could, at some point, do a random sampling to see if this honor system was abused in any systematic way.
What this really boils down to is simply we are sending a heads up to each member every two years asking "hey, do you still want to be an active member?" and if they say yes, so be it.
Therefore, everything essentially remains the same, and those who don't respond get moved to Emeritus status. What could be simpler than this?
That makes sense to me, thanks for the clarification, Bryen. Jim -- Jim Henderson Please keep on-topic replies on the list so everyone benefits -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
