[tdf-discuss] Membership Application Process
Hello all, I hope this is the correct mailing list to ask a question about the application process to become a member of TDF. I have joined the mailing lists in December 2012 when I started the organizing committee for the Montreal application to the LOCon 2013. From what I read on the wiki (1) it's not very clear what the process is. Can someone explain to me? I am very interested to join officially, and I hope that I can do so based on merit. Does my name need to be nominated by another member? The wiki does say An applicant preferably should be nominated by an existing Member. So it is not mandatory? And although the wiki page is well written I could not find a link on to submit an actual membership application request. Cheers from Montreal!

http://www.documentfoundation.org/foundation/application-for-tdf-community-membership/ :) Nomination is not required but you should have references listed on there when you apply. Hope that helps.

Hope that helps. Yes! Thank you. It looks like membership is very restrictive. I am not a coder/developer, and my contributions have been very limited, mostly on the mailing lists, bringing input on different issues at different times. However, I have told about LibreOffice to dozen of people in Montreal whenever I get a chance. Most of this was done when I was promoting the LOCon 2013 in Montreal, but also as recently as yesterday, I talked for 30 minutes with a young women who was on AOO and she never heard of LO. About a month ago I converted one of my facebook friends from AOO to LO, and he told me about a bug, which I plan to submit a bug report very soon. Are these valid contributions? Best, Joel Cheers!

You need to have been engaged on the community for the last three months and want to participate the next 6 months Does my name need to be nominated by another member? no The wiki does say An applicant preferably should be nominated by an existing Member. So it is not mandatory? No, it's not mandatory. But you know the community is large and has a lot of different sort of participation. To not miss one, we ask for some references. But in your case, it seems I know you :) With no reference, we have to search by ourselves, and it takes more time but it's done any way, be sure of that. And although the wiki page is well written I could not find a link on to submit an actual membership application request. Oups this is something that we have to correct. Here is the link http://www.documentfoundation.org/foundation/application-for-tdf-community-membership/ Thanks for your feedback and I'm looking for your membership :) Kind regards Sophie -- Sophie Gautier sophie.gaut...@documentfoundation.org Tel:+33683901545 Membership Certification Committee Member - Co-founder The Document Foundation -- To unsubscribe e-mail to: discuss+unsubscr...@documentfoundation.org Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.documentfoundation.org/www/discuss/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
