Old Business

 

  • Plone Conference Update
    Ticket sales are picking up, the Earlybird period is running out. There have been some issues with the payment provider, whose technology is not exactly flawless.
  • Domain disputes:
    the Catalan issue is at the legal people now, the .be issue is under scrutiny.
  • Contributor agreement process update
    All changes without legal implications should be made ASAP into the document, then the changes with legal implications checked with lawyer.

  • Plone.com progress
    An email has been sent out, and replies came in from people willing to help. Needs to be on the Board's agenda again until a solid working group has formed.
