Events Team

• Official Events Charter is to be edited to allow the events directory to include events such as JandBeyond and the Multiple-CMS Code Sprint being held in London this month.  We will submit the new charter to the board for review and voting into being as soon as possible.
• A review into how the team can both serve events better by supporting them more than simply financially and also how they can get full feedback about finances, attendence, sponsorship etc from official events so that these can be reviewed and improved on where needed.
• A meeting will be held at JandBeyond to reboot the African Joomla! Conference with a view to holding the first in 2018.

JUG Team

• Regular newsletters are now being sent with latest news relating to JUG's and also news/requests from other departments/teams when needed.
• Outreach programme to help JUG's both be more successful and to encourage them to communicate more between themselves will be launched in the coming weeks.
• FAQ's and Rules of Submission are currently being translated into French and Spanish and a call for translation into other languages is being put out.  These are now on docs.joomla.org to help facilitate easy translatation by communitymembers.
