Hi Gabriella,
I have been pondering a bit on how Apache OFBiz could support The ASF as
the unified front end regarding:
- subscribing to and unsubscribing from mailing lists of projects and
offices
- profiling the Projects, Corporate Officers, ASF Members, Vice
Presidents, PMC Members, Committers, Contributors and Offices
- the invitation processes regarding new ASF Members, PMC Members and
Committers
- the 'Change of Guard' process regarding Board Members, Office and
Project VPs
Based on some demo data I have mocked up how this could look like and have
created a Powerpoint to show and explain this a bit.
In the attached PDF you can get a feel of some screenshots. In the notes of
each slide you'll find a short description.
If you would like to investigate and/or pursue the possibilities further,
feel free to contact me to exchange ideas, viewpoints, etc. If you have
trouble accessing the attached file please send me a note.
Best Regards,
Pierre Smits
