Then you're basically redefining it to be the same as "Participant",
which is anyone who filled out the registration form on opensolaris.org,
including those who did so just to get the free media kit with no plans
to ever participate, but met the Sun marketing goal of increasing the
number of people they could claim were "Participants" in the OpenSolaris
community.

That would require spending time talking to lawyers to make sure it
didn't violate the privacy laws in any of the countries Sun does business
in, and would grant far too many people access that have nothing to do
with OpenSolaris.
