There's a sticky about it in the cafe, maybe it should better be there as it is more about the forum itself :

You can either email Mike or wait an admin answer here (you shouldn't have to wait long).

What does "Ubuntu Member" mean?

Membership

A member is someone who's made a substantial contribution to the Ubuntu community -- of any type -- and who has explicitly agreed to the code of conduct. Members play an essential role in Ubuntu governance and confirm, by vote, all nominations to the Ubuntu Community Council. They may also be called upon to vote on resolutions put to the members by the Community Council. As a Member you will get an email address @ubuntu.com and the right to carry Ubuntu business cards too, if you want them! (We'll supply the artwork, you print your own cards.) A list of Ubuntu Members can be found online.
Membership lasts for two years, and is renewable. If you don't renew your status as a member you will join the "inactive members" list. Membership can be reactivated at any time after it has lapsed, on request and with the confirmation of the Community Council.
Qualifying for Membership

A person who wants to become a member should be engaged in a sustained level of contribution to the Ubuntu community. This can include coding, writing or documentation, the creation of art-work, music, testing, bug triage and verification, translation, advocacy, leadership of LoCo teams, etc. Contributions should be significant and visible. Anybody who is active in the Ubuntu community is a good candidate for Ubuntu membership.
Becoming a Member

Anyone who feels they are qualified and wishes to become an Ubuntu Member should follow these guidelines:

1. Document your work on your home page on the Ubuntu Wiki. This can include links to code, mailing list messages, or wiki pages. It can also include narrative descriptions.
2. Be prepared to have current Ubuntu members provide testimonials on your work and involvement in Ubuntu. For many types of work, testimonials will be the single most important part of a members application. For example, if you are doing great work with the MOTU, ask some of them to be at the Community Council meeting where your membership is considered.
3. Add yourself to the Community Council Agenda and link to the wiki page
4. If it is convenient, come to the next Community Council meeting.
5. Upon approval by the council, you will need to "sign" a copy of the Code of Conduct. This can be done in three ways:
   
   1. A signed (i.e., with a pen) paper copy FAXed to Benjamin Mako Hill at (+1) 815.361.7509.
   2. A cryptographic (GPG) signature on the text of the code itself sent to Benjamin Mako Hill
   3. A cryptographic (GPG) signature on the Code of Conduct in your Launchpad account.

If any potential member wants help or a review of their application before a community council meeting, they are strongly encouraged to contact Benjamin Mako Hill or any member of the Community Council.
If a person is not (yet) known and the council is not comfortable confirming them, they will be encouraged to fill out their wiki page and to gain testimonials from existing members they have worked with and then to resubmit their application again at a subsequent meeting.
