+IMHO that the board must have, at least one member from each
+Community. I'm part of Blogdrake.net, so I'll talk about my
+experience.
+
+Active members "use" to be always the same. From time to time, a new
+user shows the "gift" DYS (Do it Your Self).
+
+We know each other (virtually, because we're from different countries
+/ continents). So, we know very well who collaborates and in which
+area.
+
+We know who is always translating, who is always reporting a bug, who
+is helping to improve the forum (code, modules, etc). We know who
+"knows".
+
+So, for the board, to have a member is, not only necessary but invaluable.
+
+IMHO that consider for the board only people who can go personally to
+a conference in Europe to be face to face will leave aside a lot of
+people that works very hard and contribute a lot just because they
+can't travel.
+
+A few years ago I worked under Romain d'Alverny's "command" (a real
+pleasure) as member of the MDKTrans group, translating the Mandriva
+web site to Spanish. The MDKTrans group, did a good job with only one
+SVN access and even with its members in different countries. I think
+none of the MDKTrans group could travel to European conference (maybe
+someone), but even so we could contribute.
+
+Of course, this is just my opinion.
+
+Cheers!
