How do you get the alpha version?
You need to be a beta tester

Should I become one, if I'm not a tech savvy guy?

You don't need to be tech savy to say what you do or  don't like about waze but they do expect you to give feedback

How long does it usually take from alpha to beta, & from beta to a regular version?

I read this here http://maphappy.org/2015/09/is-waze-really-better-than-google-maps/
 I thought it was a great insight.

"Right off the bat, there are some things to distinctive to Waze that are instantly recognizable: compared to the clean, crisp apps that’s very in vogue today Waze’s aesthetics consist of of rounded corners and cartoon-like caricatures. At first, the childishness-like graphics bugged me until I realized this was actually a very clever way to get users to crowdsource information. By making everything into a game, the app manages to collect more road data than it would otherwise normally by increasing participation."
