+1 if only because...

>From what I read from Rob in an interview in LWN, membership to the
foundation will be funded by membership dues.  I think the dues
structure is what will eventually determine who can afford to become a
member.  I'd definitely pay for membership if I could credibly afford
it.  It seems like the easiest way to make sure this could happen is to
charge on a per-person basis rather than on a per-company basis, with
larger companies signing up more individuals as necessary/desired.
