2 cents on improving openSUSE Membership (Management)
Ish Sookun
I work for La Sentinelle Ltd as a Systems Architect. I am passionate about Linux & OSS. I've been around the openSUSE community since 2009, organizing openSUSE installfests in Mauritius and talk at local meetups/conferences. I manage openSUSE mirrors in Mauritius and South Africa. If you'd like to sponsor a mirror in Africa, let's talk, ishwon@opensuse.org.

The current process of openSUSE membership application can be cumbersome and overall approval deem lengthy or inconsistent. This is due to way applications are made, some times information is lacking, there are back-and-forths, before membership officials can finalise an application. The current state of membership management has its limitations and it is not friendly, either for the members, the membership officials, or the election officials (who need the active membership info to run elections). In this lightning talk, I'll quickly go through some of the hurdles and possible solutions to ease the process.
