[OOTB-hive] Joining the order

[Ole Hejlskov]

+1 for this. People needs to motivate and introduce themselves - and please, let us agree that we at any time can vote to deny membership. We could quickly be faced with a lot of agencies and freelancers who does not really contribute but only want the extra exposure and keeping up appearances. 

I support the idea of badges, but we need to think about how we implement it, it could quickly become a time consuming task, so we need to look for a solution that provides these features for us - if we have to build it from the ground up it will take time - it can quickly become a distraction from our desired Alfresco tasks ;)

I published a form at http://orderofthebee.org/about/#joinrequest to send reuqests to join the order. Another way to join is to send a message to this mailing list with "Joining the Order" topic and following information in the body of the email:
> - Name, nickname, link to the photo (for publishing on the website)
> - Contacts: email (if send the request using form on the website) and accounts in social networks (github, twitter, other)
> - List of contributions (links to articles, meetup summaries etc or just description in several paragraphs about what are you doing)
