I did. I said one month, just as I could have said two, three, four, or even five months. My point was precisely that contribution on a short period don't constitute sufficient evidence of a person's involvement within the community. >>> The membership can correct me if I'm wrong, but one thing that's not >>> been said so far is that the "N months before accepting a member" is >>> not really special to interns. >> >> Also correct. > > In that case, what is the period of time is considered acceptable for > non-interns to have contributed for before they make an application, then? That's why I said that it should be at the MC's discretion. Setting a hard rule for this is silly. Saying that someone contributing for six months is not ok, but something contributing for six months and a day is ok is silly. The MC should use their good judgment for the period of time, just as they do with everything else. -- Alexandre Franke _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
