Do I need to be employed by Red Hat to be a member of the ELN SIG?
No, anyone with an interest in helping will be welcomed enthusiastically!
And why would I want to do Red Hat's / IBM's work for free?
Contributing to Fedora provides value to me because I use Fedora myself. In
contrast, what would I gain from contributing to ELN?
You contribute to Fedora because you use Fedora.
Others might want to contribute to ELN because they use EL or because they are
passionate EPEL contributors already and want to participate in the layer below.
I can imagine even Fedora contributors who don't participate in EPEL much and
don't use EL, but would be interested in being part of ELN SIG, work together to
discover unneeded dependencies in Fedora itself, or to help shape the content
set of next RHEL to better match Fedora's infra needs, or to make sure important
features are enabled in RHEL proper so others don't use their absence as a
reason (excuse?) not to allow something in Fedora for the next X years etc. etc.
etc. (One could even join to make sure the impact for packagers who are not
interested in ELN/EL is kept at a reasonable level.)
Long story short: There are many valid reasons to participate and I absolutely
love the fact that *it is possible* (it wasn't in previous RHEL versions). But
if none of the reasons apply to you, nobody's forcing you to join the SIG.
