5) Volunteers are under-represented at Kernel Summit

Volunteers are the "dark matter" of Linux Kernel contribution. They are 
not the "usual suspects" who nearly all have full time jobs now, 
allowing them the time investment to raise their profile sufficiently to 
gain a place at the KS round table. They may not be very vocal. They are 
most probably the first to depart for more pleasant pastures when the 
interaction becomes less than fun. In part because they do not have an 
employer who requires them to stay engaged no matter what.

How do we represent the viewpoint of volunteers? Which for many of us is 
a former life, the memory of which may be starting to fade.

Regards,

Daniel
