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

@brane
Every tool has its limitations... ;-)

I can do an (off-site) demo at the ApacheCon EU 2014 for those interested.

ASF mailing lists do not allow binary attachments; there's nothing
attached to the mail.

(Yes, this is a good thing and protects us from spam, somewhat.)

P.S.: "A Powerpoint?" Really? :)
