Well, you can get one retroactively, I'm sure. AFAIK, it uses your
membership date on Launchpad.

Don't forget, I'm a relatively new member. I had considered it several
times but didn't because I didn't understand it's real value. I mean,
I'm not in it for the karma or anything. I don't need to have
recognition to feel valued. I'll contribute no matter what.

The thing that really motivated me was being in a leadership position.
I felt it was important to appear officially involved. I can add to
this that I think for the purpose of furthering my career, it's been
highly valuable.
