Annual meeting of Plone Foundation

Everyone is welcome, only members of the Plone Foundation can vote.

There is a report of the last year. Together with other documentation, see https://plone.org/foundation/meetings/membership/2015-membership-meeting

Thank you to the membership committee, ambassadors, Google Summer of Code, including talk of student Prakhar Joshi today.

Some activities this year: Plone Symposium Tokyo, Strategic Summit Sorrento. Sprints funded: FourDigits Anniversary Sprint, Munich Theming Sprint. There were lots more sprints.

Launch of http://plone.com. Many thanks to many people!

We were present in PyCon, EuroPython. Hardly any marketing money applied there, more guerilla marketing, with lots of T-shirts at the right time.

Plone 5 launch, which we had nothing to do with, except that we launched a Launch Team for issues that are not code related. Much better than the Plone 4 release which was basically dumping a tarball on the website. Thanks!

CMS Garden Brochure with a section on Plone, working together with other open source CMSes. We are not each others enemies, we have other fish to fry. Thanks Maik, Armin, Christina.
