As I was the very first to apply under the GR (not in the first batch of accepts though) I just wanted to underline the truth in this. I wouldn't have been on the line for applying for DD for years to come. I most probably would have stayed with the project anyhow but the membership couples me tighter to Debian now. I am more interested in doing things for Debian now than before, and given that I have been running mirrors for both FTP and debconf video streams since 2004 and been a active contributor for the translations since 2007 (let's not even count the time spent on advocacy for the project), the GR was a warm fuzzy feeling of out reach and I like it. -- brother http://sis.bthstudent.se -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
