To be honest the biggest turn off for me about the whole AFFS is all the nit-picking pedantry about procedure and constitutions. It's worse than working for the government :-) If and when it gets to the point where there is an association that can have some practical impact on FOSS I'll consider taking part again. My time is far more valuable than any small amount of membership money I might have lost.
