Wow, that's a little jargony -- sorry. Here's the deal. It's the end of
the day so this is kind of long (no time to write a short message)...

1. "Group" in this context means one of the many different security
groups in the Fedora Account System (FAS). You can log into that and
see the groups here:
<https://admin.fedoraproject.org/accounts/group/list/A*> or see your
own at the bottom of the page under "My Accounts". 

2. The "cla*" group means you've agreed to the Fedora Project
Contributor Agreement, which actually _obsoletes_ the Contributor
License Agreement (CLA) -- but the group name stayed the same. (The
Contributor Agreement is very minimal, and basically means your
contributions will be under free / open source licenses.)

3. Other groups are used for access to many other things. For example,
to vote in Fedora Ambassador elections, you need to be in the Fedora
Ambassador group.

4. A lot of things in Fedora are meant for active contributors, not
just people who randomly signed up for an account. Since the cla*
group has basically no barrier to entry (check a box and you're in),
many _general_ resources in Fedora require you to be in at least one
other group as well -- it doesn't matter which one.

5. Sooooooooo. In order to get a fedorapeople.org account, you just
have to be active somewhere else in the project. If you are already,
you probably already qualify.

6. If you're not... you _can_ apply for group membership within the
account system, but the various groups are kind of arbitrary and
without context. Some are obsolete. (It's pretty easy to start a small
subproject in Fedora, and we don't really have a cleanup process, so
that's a natural consequence.) So, it's probably better to find an
active group in Fedora that you're interested in, and find out if they
have a related security group and will sponsor you. For example,
there's one for Fedora Magazine -- interested in writing a few short
blog posts? :)


Wow, that was really long and I hope at least half coherent. If someone
knows of a better explanation, please point me to it. :)
