 '''Badge description (like "You added a co-maintainer to a package.
 BFF!"):'''
 This badge would be awarded to users who join a sponsored group through
 FAS for the first time. I think being sponsored into your first group in
 FAS is a major milestone for a beginning Fedoran, and having a badge for
 this may serve as good motivation by putting it on the radar for new
 contributors to work towards.

 ''Badge Name Ideas:''
 - Secret Society Member
 - Member of the Club

 ''Badge Description:'' You joined your first sponsored group in FAS!"

 Alternatively, this badge could be turned into a series with the following
 name scheme:
 - Member of the Club I (Joined one sponsored group in FAS)
 - Member of the Club II (2 groups)
 - Member of the Club III (3 groups)
 - Member of the Club IV (5 groups)
 - Member of the Club V (10 groups)

 '''Help the badges team understand what this idea is all about.  If this
 badge is awarded for certain kinds of activities:'''
 ''1) What are those activities?''
 - Becoming more active and involved as a Fedora contributor
 - Becoming sponsored in groups on the FAS
 ''2) Who is doing them (are they packagers? translators? newcomers?
 veterans? users? sponsors?)''
 - Newcomers, if only one badge
 - Newcomers to veterans, if series of badges
 ''3) Why are they doing them (is this a means to a different end?)''
 - Becoming more committed, involved members of the project
 - Different from badges for specific SIGs (e.g. sysadmin, IRC support,
 etc.), so can be general for anyone wanting to contribute in one of the
 more obscure but important groups
 ''4) When do they do them (every day?  once a year?)''
 - First award would be after contributing to the community in a
 significant way to becoming sponsored
 - Series model just builds from there for the super-awesome people who are
 in several groups
 ''5) How do they do them (by talking in IRC?  by running commands in the
 console?  by using a web interface?)''
 - Awarded by joining group in FAS that requires sponsorship to join

 '''Lastly, do you have any ideas for artwork concepts?'''
 Depends on the name:
 - "Secret Society Member": Group of pandas together wearing hoods (similar
 to sysadmin-badges SIG badge?)
 - "Member of the Club": Group of pandas, one panda in the center
 highlighted, maybe raising hands or getting something pinned onto chest
 (like a badge… pun perhaps intended)
