It is true that the memberships are not identical but the overlapping is intense to say the least. I became an official developer in April 2007, some 17 months ago. The only reason I am not a member of the foundation is because foundation elections were postponed 6 months, otherwise I'd be a member currently. I'd like to apply to become a member of the foundation but cannot find how this is done. >From talking to others that predate the foundation and were around for the implementation, the original intent was that any developer of greater than one year could apply to become a foundation member, but to simplify the process for all it was automatically granted at election time if they had not previously applied. Evidently the process was not documented and I'd like to pursue it. Kind regards, Christina Fullam Gentoo Developer Relations Lead | Gentoo Public Relations
