- Mark is presenting to the Joomla Extension Developer JUG on Thursday 17th attempting to get extra helpers for the JED team.
Forum team:
- Forum Team has 5 active members (Global Moderators/Admins):
(Olaf, Toivo, Peter, MIG, Per) - Forum upgrade - Not done yet, hopefully by the end of the year
Trademark & Licensing team:
- Current Team is Mandville & Luca.
- Several reports dealt with by contacting domain and registrar with no positive outcomes. Mainly due to GDPR restrictions and cost of chasing domains through udrp.
- Trademark checker group on mattermost - liaison from Showcase/Resources required to join
Volunteers Portal team:
- No response on the call for a new team lead. Sander will step down by the end of November 2022 completely (and other teams like Webmaster/operations). Please make sure the access to Vault, Rochen tickets, Portals etc.. will be removed.
- Roland has keys/knowledge of the current setup.
- Team does no longer comply with the OSM-bylaws once Sander stepped down, so possibly the team needs to be merged or responsibility of the portal to be moved to another team.
- Anything needed from Sander's side before stepping down?
