I have asked the Chapters Committee, for those Chapters who are membership organizations, whether they are open to members beyond the geographical designation of the Chapter -- I believe the Chapters Agreement and process documents indicate that they must be.

Sorry for the late reply. Dunno really what this (I don't live in California?) is but I want to say that I'm still interested in my project (Popular related articles) but I'm busy atm.
Johan, on a personal note, your case was particularly disturbing to me during the Google Summer of Code selection process, because multiple mentors said that what you have already accomplished -- with WikiTrends at http://users.student.lth.se/dt05jg2/wikitrends/en/24h.html for example -- was impossible, or harder than you could possibly realize. You were clearly scored lower than you should have been because of this mistake. Oddly, three members of the Foundation's engineering and technical staff repeated the same mistake at a talk they gave at Xerox PARC last week. I will do what it takes to see that this mistake is corrected.
