It’s difficult to put a number on it since people have varying levels of involvement and exposure to the greater community throughout their Membership.

In my case, I was elected to the Community Council in October 2009 and had been:

• an Ubuntu Member since May of 2007
• involved with Ubuntu since February of 2006
• using Ubuntu since March of 2005 (that’s when my ubuntuforums.org account was created)

I was on the junior side of Membership length as far as Council members go, even though the project was still young when I got involved, but I was pretty heavily involved in a number of places so was familiar and had worked with a lot of people throughout the project.
