Hi,
Quagga is introducing Gold, Silver and Bronze membership levels, to help
fund its costs, and to help pay for the very expensive maintenance of my
classic Italian racing vehicle[1].
Bronze level membership: Submit a bug report, submit a patch (if you
don't code, documentation updates are _super_ useful), review a
contribution.
Silver level: Co-operate with reviews on patches, where asked. Submit
further patches, and/or review others. Do some bugzilla herding. Be a
decent human being to others.
Gold level: Sustained engagement with the community over time. A
demonstrated ability to productively move the (sometimes tedious but
necessary) discussions along, while exercising sufficient self-control
to not make references to male self-stimulation, even when a technical
discussion gets heated.
These membership levels will of course come with fees:
- Bronze: ?0
- Silver: ?0
- Gold: ?0
The project reserves the right to adjust these dues for inflation, but
are otherwise guaranteed to rise no further.
I have setup a public interest foundation, (not that I like to talk
about my charitable work, mate). However, please make the cheques out to
Paul's Colnago Fund Ltd. Don't worry about it, that's just how my
accountant said things should be arranged - it's all technically legal.
1. A genuine Colnago Saronni (not one of the later Tecnotrat Saronnis
with fake Colnago stickers slapped on).
regards,
