I’m so glad that my girlfriend bought her weddingdress a few weeks ago. Right now a building next to the weddingdress shop is burning down and the smoke is blowing over it, probably ruining all of the dresses. It was already hard to find an affordable, beautiful dress, this surely would have made it harder.

Yesterday was the first meeting of the Ubuntu EMEA membership board and I think it was a great success. We managed to process 13 membership applications,10 people were accepted as Ubuntu members. This is a huge improvement for prospective members who now do not have to wait for the Community Council to meet, but can turn to local membership boards. So there are now 3 ways to become Ubuntu member:

  • Contribute to the development of Ubuntu and become member through the “Ubuntu Developers” or “Ubuntu Universe Contributors” team.
  • Contribute to Kubuntu or Edubuntu and become Ubuntu member via their respective membership process
  • Contribute to a LoCoteam and come to your regional membership board for membership.

There are now 378 Ubuntu members, that is 378 people who made significant contributions to Ubuntu and the Ubuntu community. There are many more of you out there who make such significant contributions, so this delegation will make sure all those contributions will be recognized!
