Plone Foundation Members: Time To Renew Your Membership!

If you are currently a member of the Plone Foundation, and wish to remain so, you need to renew your membership for 2008.   Consider this a gentle reminder.

Plone Foundation membership committee chair Godefroid Chappelle explains:

To the members of the Plone Foundation,

The bylaws of the foundation state that each member needs to renew his membership each year in order to keep it for another year.

The foundation must give a period of thirty days to allow for this renewal.

This period starts at the moment of the publication of this text both on plone.org and on the membership mailing list. It will end on 2007-10-03 at midnight.

Any member that will not have renewed will go to emeritus status. He will need to apply again for membership and go through the application process in order to be full member again.

The way to renew your membership is the following:

  1. Log in plone.org,
  2. Find your member object. One way is to use advanced search and to specify your name in the title and "Foundation Member" as content type. Another way is to look in http://plone.org/foundation/members/folder_listing.
  3. Use the "Renew" transition from the workflow dropdown (menu).


If everything goes well, you will get a message in the view stating "Member renewed for 2008".

If you have any problem, please contact Hanno or myself for help.

Most people already renewed

At this point 81 of our 95 current foundation members have already renewed, so the message seems to have been well received. On the plus side only two members had minor technical problems while renewing. The process is so smooth this year, I hardly noticed it :)

Excellent!

That's excellent news, Hanno! Nice work!
