15 Have you thought about splitting the membership into voting and
16 non-voting groups? You could have the voting membership as devs et al
17 who have applied for voting rights (to address the quorum concern), but
18 also sell non-dev (and therefore non-voting) membership to users &
19 companies? It's easier to get companies to give you money in return for
20 something they can advertise (hey, look, we're a Gentoo Foundation
21 Member!) than to simply get out the begging bowl.

23 (Btw, where and how do I sign up for membership?)

25 Best regards,
