hello, I once applied and it is so long ago that I don't really know how it came to it. but for an outsider it is completely unclear.
at some point I decided I wanted to help. so I asked around and people said to go and triage bugs or do translations or other things. but then you need to be a member - at least that is what the websites say. and so I applied. so a little bit more information would be good. especially for newcommers. I am happy that your moving forward because I have waited several month for movement on this issue. I checked the website every now and then but nothing happend. I even contacted mark shuttleworth because I found is email somewhere and he responded which I found to be impressive. anyway, meanwhile I spend my energy in other areas. and hope to be able to be somekind of help there. rgds, uwe geercken Am Dienstag, den 10.11.2009, 15:43 +0200 schrieb Jonathan Carter (highvoltage): > Hi Jordan > > Jordan Mantha wrote: > > During our last meeting we discussed the state of the Edubuntu Members > > Launchpad team [0], particularly the fact that we have about three > > times as many "proposed" members as current members.
