Like a good democracy, we need check and balance. Given we don't have 
infinite resources in terms of money, volunteers and time, opening to 
everyone won't be a solution unless they are willing to volunteer time 
and resources.

Like food cooperative, you can be members if you are willing to put some 
time and effort (specific effort according to the charters).

Suppose you work at the checkout, you are entitled to food discount. 
Perhaps, we can get goodies and auctions. All those developers can give 
OSCOM blocks of time, we can auction. Suppose I want some work done 
Plone module, I will buy at auction and use developer's time. That is 
good for developer to create new relationship and good for the winner. I 
am not suggesting this at the moment but as an example.

Like BarCamp, we can hold regional camps. Less travelling is good for 
the earth! We can hold camps on university needs or what not.
