Hi Andrew. Yes. Good question. I'm not immediately sure if there is a better description of DSF membership around. 🤔
It's meant to be a recognition of contribution to the community, be that to the code in django/django, maintaining a <modifier> third-party package, organising a DjangoCon or community meetup, mentoring, ... — the dots there are that the list incompletable, not simply because I'm too lazy to type, if that makes sense 😜 (These tie roughly to the suggested points for eligibility for being on the Steering Committee in Andrew's proposal <https://github.com/django/deps/pull/75/files> except without the "and you're still engaged" requirement that's also there — once earned, it's yours.) There was some discussion of this at both recent DjangoCons... — there's a bit of a gap for people, perhaps like yourself, first getting involved. One idea was a more open membership level that anyone interested could take up, that would allow easier communication if nothing else. I don't know how those discussions will turn out, but stay tuned 🙂 I hope that clarifies a litte? In any case, Welcome aboard! ⛵️ :) Please reach out if you need any help.
