Unless something has changed, you're only an associate, not a member
in the usual sense with a say in the running of the organisation.

It's a fine thing to join, but don't be under any illusion it's
anything more than a supporter programme.

If you can only do one, I think http://fellowship.fsfe.org/ is more
worthwhile because it's aimed at us and FSFE is more democratic.
