Ubuntu Membership Workshop Outline Draft Ready For Review

[Benjamin Kerensa]

Hi Lyz,

"I'd make clear that even upstream contributions need to have an Ubuntu
Community component. Even the most accomplished Firefox contributor
isn't automatically an Ubuntu Member unless they've engaged with the
Ubuntu community in some capacity."

IIRC shortly after I left the Membership Board we started being rather less
stringent
and began allowing Canonical employees who contribute to Ubuntu but
otherwise do
so behind the scenes to still get membership even if they had not engaged
with community.

How would an upstream contributor be different in this sense?
