Ubuntu membership is an interesting idea, it allows people who have been very active in the ubuntu community, to be labeled and rewarded with extra resources.
I wished to become an Ubuntu Member so I could have my blog entries relating to Ubuntu put onto the Planet Ubuntu aggregation service.
So tonight I got my chance to prove to the Ubuntu Americas members that my contributions are significant enough to merit membership. Details have to be written in a wiki page where any existing members can provide good feedback.
So during the meeting, the votes were all positive. And I’m now an Ubuntu Member. I think the Case Badge project was a good community visible thing, unlike the coding projects I’ve done since. So now I’ll be able to have ubuntu labeled “business” cards, an @ubuntu.com email address and all the other fun things that membership grants.
