[Global_membership_committee] 2010 Memberships

[Stephen Craig Evans]

The T-shirts are awesome. I've already got lots of favorable comments
on mine that I got in the mail last month. If it wasn't commoditized
and was something special it would be worth the price of membership
alone. On the back, it should say "Member" under the logo - better
even  if it could say "Member since 200x" - this would put some value
in being a member.
