[Sugar-devel] Testing alias

[Adam Holt]

+1 to Samson Goddy even if the Nigerian govt did not allow me to meet him
during my less than 48hrs in country February (due to a more famous
Goodluck/Badluck election ;)

The following page says the Membership and Elections Committee can be
emailed via "elections at sugarlabs.org" :
http://wiki.sugarlabs.org/go/Sugar_Labs/Governance/Membership

Is this still true?

In any case, I'll ask the committee, CC'd here, to vote on Samson's
membership to the membership committee and we can perhaps discuss how to
get us out of the micromanagement business at the June meeting.

active member of the community who has contributed some activities, e.g.,
[1] organized the Igbo translation team, and contributes often to the SL
Facebook page. He was also a participant in Google Code-in 2014.

volunteered to the committee because there had been 2 years without
elections and never have there been a survey to keep the membership list
current. These are the main responsibilities of the Election and Membership
committee. We'd be glad to have you. In short, do this:     - Read the
governance / membership committee pages     - Write to SLOBS requesting to
be a member     - Wait for a vote For us (Caryl and me), it took almost 2
months to be confirmed, official member of election committee. However, in
that opportunity, SLOBS voted that they would solicit help from young
members so maybe they will be more expedite for you. Thanks and good luck!
