The whole Ondrel team is 24 people, so you can probably picture what adding another 24 feels like from where we are sitting. We would happily say yes to everyone who wrote in, but we would rather the people who do join get a genuinely good run of it than have forty of you queueing behind one reviewer. Assuming the first round goes the way we think it will, we expect to move to a smaller rolling intake every month instead.

Roughly three hours a month: answering questions in the forum, reading one draft release note before it ships, and joining a half-hour call at the end of the quarter. Nothing is graded and nothing is billed.

Tell us and we will park your seat for a cycle. Plenty of people step out for three months and come back; the only thing we ask is that you say so rather than going quiet.
