Fully agree. Compare the OpenStreetMap Foundation. They have about
30,000 active contributors, aka community members, but around 250
or so active foundation members. Membership is formally
acknowledged
That's what I meant.
Informal membership and right of vote are things that don't sound
well in the same sentence.
And a formal membership should include something more that simply
having contributed.
I like to understand but I still don't get the point here.
Reading The OpenStreetmap Membership paragraphs I see:
You can help and support us by becoming a member of the OpenStreetMap
Foundation. The membership fee is £15 per year and enables you to
influence the direction of OpenStreetMap by being able to vote in
elections for officers of the foundation.
This just means that I can "buy in"? I agree, that this is definately
formal - but how does this help have the foundation act in favour of
it's projects?
Still - I try to understand.
