My thoughts on the topic:
The great thing about the XSF is that there are no formal rules or
processes to become a member: all you have to do is *mean* something
to the XMPP community, be it by developing code, writing specs,
helping people out, or just joining the discussion on the mailing
lists.
However, I strongly feel you should do *something*. Whether you think
someone is actually doing something relevant is entirely personal, but
I never vote for people who apply because 'XMPP is cool' or because
they run an XMPP server on jabber.elbonia.com. And sometimes, I get
the feeling that many members take this too lightly, and just vote
'yes' on everybody to be done with it. If voting would be taken more
seriously, I think that the XSF membership would actually consist of
nothing but active people.
cheers,
Remko
