A few weeks ago, I applied for membership with the Jabber Software Foundation. The vote for new members was yesterday, and all 17 people up for membership were voted in as new JSF Members.
The responsibilities are pretty light — particpate in the jabber mailing lists, evangalize Jabber technology, and participate in the quarterly meetings. I was already doing the first two, and it’s no big deal to spend my lunch hour online for the meetings once in a while. And eventually I hope to actually contribute something interesting to the community. JabFoaf is at least something, but it only appeals to a very small portion of the community.
