Voting by the online community will start shortly after May 15th, and continue until June 5th. A winner will be announced on June 15th, 2009.

The chosen non-profit will be asked to provide a final design, domain name, and copy for the site content. They will work with Six Feet Up to develop their requirements for a website. The non-profit will then work with top content management professionals to bring the site to life during the Plone Immersive Training Experience in September.

The non-profit website will be based on the Plone open source content management system and will include features such as an event calendar, a slideshow, a news section, embedded video files, a staff/people directory, and more.
