The requirments for voting I specifically mentioned are: * willness to volunteer with various stuff. * subscibed to Linux-IL Oh, and another thing - a good knowledge of Linux. I'm not talking the internal knowledge of Linux kernel VM or other internal knowledge of Linux, but issues like what is Samba (for example), interopability with other OS's, Linux features, and stuff like that - which is a very important issues when being asked by non Linux people.. > The things you may demand are taxes, experience, being subscribed to > linux-il.
