Why am I not a member? I was told when I applied (back when Membership was first set up) that my contributions on the mailing lists were not considered sufficient for membership, that I should step up my contributions in other places such as the Wiki, and then reapply at a later date. If that criteria has changed, it's not been well communicated... which leads me back to my original point... how many people (who almost fit the criteria for membership) applied, were rejected for whatever reason, and haven't bothered to re-apply? Are these people a pool of potential members who could be reminded in some way (the openSUSE Weekly for example) that they could reapply?

Well, i never even knew about the possibility becoming a member until yesterday, in this thread... I have looked up my status in the bugzilla, which could only find 20 bugs reported by me.. :-/ (don't know about dups..) I got a T-Shirt, a boxed oS 11.1 version, and a beautifull led-flashlamp for my efforts though! ( i am very pleased with those btw, the light is always in my pocket..) I've only been around since 9.2, which was my first encounter with Suse, after Debian sarge, and DSL...on an ancient laptop... I sometimes helped on the lists... asked more than answered to be honest, learned a lot... Testpilot since 10, using all different hardware, old new, 32 and 64 bit, touchscreens, laptops, desktops... My time however is limited: have a family, responsibilities, a very lot of buildingwork at my place, and because of the absence of, water, sewer and grid, a lot of work to maintain my 'independant' status, so to say, nothing is obvious if all is self built... I am not the guy who wants to be rejected, if i am any good, 'the bosses' could invite me to be a member, to say 'test the circuit'...of becoming one... I have never served any 'boss' in my whole life except 'the big boss' we all meet at beginning and end....and i still serve (him/her), since he's kept me a free man all my life, and always provided everything i ever needed to survive... -- Enjoy your time around, Oddball, aka M9.
