Hi all.
Maybe something else could come to existence: People contribute all they can, in their way, and they get noticed, like somebody approached me by mail, and asked me if i wanted to have a boxed edition of 11.1, and what my size was... i had to fill in the needed data.. after some time a box came... i had ordered nothing.. and than i saw it! Beautifull, a nice T-Shirt and a surprise, a Led-flashlight was added with the boxed edition, this was so nice, and felt realy good! To be appreciated!
People could be asked to become a member, which is quite an honour than... It feels good to belong, to do something that has any use.. That is a whole lot different from applying with a chance to be rejected, because that realy sucks..
Why do you want to create such an elite selection. I would prefer some kind of mentorship (as mentioned I am hopefully going to do a workshop on that at osc). A membership applicant should be able to decide on his/her own if he/she prefers self processing (like following the guidelines on the Join page/we could learn much from Fedora on that) or would like to get mentored. The mentor could help finding out possible areas of contribution and lead the applicant to the correct communication channels. But is it okay if we could keep this discussion for the conference (hopefully you could take part, too)?
