I do continue to think we can do better. Here is a possible criteria
set. We might have to fine tune it better.
* Signed the CLA
* CVS commits to any of the Fedora Projects
* Triaged or reported X number of bugs in Fedora.
* Participated or organized atleast one event or contributed to
Free/Sponsored media as a Fedora Ambassador
* Member of any of the governing bodies such as committees and board
* Produced any Fedora specific content that is included in the
distribution - Documentation, Artwork etc.
* People who contribute to infrastructure and other management tasks.
Anything that I have missed?
