Hi,
I think the individual membership should not be free. Being part of the consortium should be meaningful.
So, I propose that a membership requires one of two:
1. make a gift, or
2. present the evidence of three relevant commits to Pharo or adjacent projects.
Of course, most people will fall under the second category anyway. But, like this, when one adds the badge of "Proud Pharo supporter" to his webpage it has a factual meaning.
What do you think?
Cheers,
Doru
p.s. And 5000 * 2 = 10000. Luckily, it's probably not going to be Stef taking care of the finance details :)
