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.<br> ><br> > SLOB members, please let me know your vote re allowing Samson to join the membership committee. For those of you who don't know Samson, he is an 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.<br> ><br> > regards.<br> ><br> > -walter<br> ><br> > [1] <a href="http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4758" target="_blank">http://activities.sugarlabs.org/en-US/sugar/addon/4758</a><br> ><br> > <br> >><br> >><br> >> Regards,<br> >> Sebastian<br> >><br> >><br> >><br> >> On 06/05/15 09:13, Walter Bender wrote:<br> >>><br> >>> I did not realize that all volunteers on the teams need vetting by SLOB.

I 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!
