Hey Andrew. I had thought this was a Flatpage (stored in the database) but it's not. The source is here: https://github.com/django/djangoproject.com/blob/main/djangoproject/templates/members/individualmember_list.html If you wanted to open a PR suggesting your changes, that would be amazing 朗

I'm of the opinion that if you care enough about Django to investigate becoming a member of the DSF, that's enough of a qualification - it is just challenging to formalize that into proper text for the website. Maybe two changes to encourage people to join: - We could tweak *"Running

Hey Andrew, Thanks for drafting this language and I think it looks great. As someone who only recently applied after hearing it discussed on an episode of Django Chat[1], I'm all for the goals of making it more encouraging and accessible and think this is a great step in that direction. Here are

Hi Carlton, I think I might have been one of those people mentioning the lack of definition around the membership requirements. It has held me back from applying (finally sent one in yesterday). Given the process's obscurity (see below), it's daunting to hit submit. - The number of potential
