It's Oct 2011 and may have been the first I heard of the issue, I really can't remember. I would encourage people to sign it if they haven't already. However, events have moved on.

The 'member' badge is a small reward for paying money to support Trisquel. It doesn't make what I say any more special than anybody else. -- With computer technology we're building a world where Orwell's 1984 could be a childhood fantasy akin to Santa Claus.
