I think everything is being fixed right now. The system to handle
membership applications was too manual before, and now it's a lot more
easier (and thus, if you look at the membership-committee list, you'll
see lot of application processing). Also, two new people joined the
membership committee and will start working soon, so things can get
better.

It's cool to see you wanting to help the membership committee. I don't
know what the people in the committee think (I'm not there anymore, I'm
just the old guy looking at the list ;-)), but I believe this is
appreciated. And maybe you'll join the committee. Which would be great!

Cheers,

Vincent
