And asking for membership in GNOME is encouraged, because it shows you have a vested interest in the community and being more involved in the day to day governance, rather than having it forced on you when you really only care about writing code. It works both ways, and OpenSolaris is neither Apache or GNOME - it needs to find it's own self as a community. Glynn
