Hi :) Hmmm, i still haven't looked but would be very disappointed if it really is only official members. However fast the application membership process is it's unlikely to ever meet demand. I'm hoping for a bit of a "snowball effect" = as more people become members it becomes faster to process the applications.
I'm not an official member either and even amongst those that contribute a lot only a tiny percentage are officially members. It seems likely that i might even be thrown off the lists soon due to a few disagreements i am currently having with the BoD. I'm often in that position so it's unlikely i would ever be allowed to be a member! On the other hand some in the BoD applaud me :) [shrugs] Regards from Tom :) >________________________________ > From: Joel Madero <[email protected]> >To: Tom Davies <[email protected]> >Cc: kevouze <[email protected]>; "[email protected]" ><[email protected]> >Sent: Wednesday, 17 October 2012, 17:09 >Subject: Re: [libreoffice-users] Survey about newcomer experience for >LibreOffice project contributors > >Just to clarify, is this only for official members?
