More information about the X-mas and New Year's card and Joomla!- Forum for the future event should be available this week.

Volunteers can opt-out from the cards by unchecking ‘I allow the Joomla project to use my address to send me things like rewards, stickers, t-shirts and other goodies. We won’t send you marketing or other related material.’ on their Joomla Volunteer profile.

 

Jaz and Chris are in the process of re-writing the FAQ as it doesn’t read well and there are a lot of things that need to be reworded so that they sound friendly and inviting. 

 

Brian will write two documents, one for new volunteers and one for new leaders under the on-boarding program. All members have agreed to imparting  Joomla values to volunteers and adhering to them. Brian needs someone to help him in making the documents. Team members have given some suggestions, Brian will contact the individuals. 

 

Eric has moved his topic to the next VET meeting.
