An honor more like. . Plus the opportunity to have more influence in/benefit from the most influential software development organization ever. Certainly this involves responsibility.
Few things worth anything don't.
Ok ... lets take this a little step further - what are the reponsibilities that you are referring to?
It's one of the little things I havn't been able to figure out yet.
I'm not a member, I don't even play one on TV. However its fairly reasonably document here:

Maybe Ken, Sam and Stefano can share more personal experience based testimony.
My questions are more aligned with reaching an understanding of the big picture - I'm not asking from the point of view of personal membership - I'm much more interested in .... well, lets call it understanding the social model in Jakarta ;-).
As I understand it...
We're not talking about Jakarta. We're talking about the ASF. Its like we're talking about the macro afairs of state in the Foreign relations committee of the Senate and you're talking about how the drought is affecting farm workers one district of your home state (I can't think of an appropriate nationally locallized system...parlementary democracies in geographically smaller countries work much differently). [EMAIL PROTECTED] is where you discuss the micro issues (Velocity vs Struts and why people think there is a vs...please don't its a boring ol topic just read it in the archive). This is more of a place to discuss macro issues.
Perhaps Stefano or someone can put Jakarta in perspective of the ASF.

Cheers, Steve.
"To write code" isn't good enough. You can do that on sourceforge.
then again this may be the effect of the "real system" for committership... ("fine...apply your patches yourself if you don't think I do it fast enough ;-)")
I'm not on the ant list but I would be definaterly keen to see such a proposal cross posted to community@
yes. or just moved there.
That would be cool!
Cheers, Steve.
