most people who get invited are very active the in the community. They contribute through the software they make, the models they create or the blogs they maintain.
That's all I'm already doing, but got no invitation though.
Now I find that very strange.
The MCP is "MINDSTORMS Community Partners".

I'm not sure how many people around the world play with LEGO parts, or how many post pictures & videos on the web. I just googled LEGO, and got 184 million results.

If every person posted 5 projects, that means about 36 million people posted about LEGO.

There are about 40 MCPs. That means if you post on the web, your chances are still only about 1 in a million, of being selected.

There's a bit more to it, but I can tell you that expecting to get invited, is not the best way to get invited.

I don't think there is a Junior MCP. There have been a couple very young MCPs, but for legal reason, LEGO does not solicit children to be in the MCP. They are VERY cautious about that sort of thing.

So less than a month's wait now for the hoi polloi to get our hands on it. :D
