Mostly we need documentation on how to set the channel topic and things like that. Alexander will write the documentation.

Continued Business

  • Google Summer Of Code - Matthew Wilkes will be the only one attending the mentor summit, the other two possible people were not able to make it. We have a very likely candidate for next year's GSOC lead.

Review Ongoing

  • Plone's Birthday - October 4 is the official 15th birthday of Plone, based on when Plone 0.1 was released
  • Leads on plone.com - Discussion on leads from plone.com, as we occasionally get emails from big companies asking for more information. With these opportunities, we will pass them on to the premium sponsors to give them the opportunity to repsond.
  • PLOG 2017 - Kim and Maurizio have been discussion the organization of PLOG for next year since Abstract is not interested in doing it. Kim will be the contact person for now, and will get in touch with the hotel about scheduling it.
