Hi all, This invitation is long overdue: Back in 2009 when our German foundation ReactOS Deutschland e.V. was established, it was merely the legal entity to handle the small amount of incoming donations.
Today, things have drastically changed: Our fundraising campaign in 2014 as well as the successful website relaunch and 0.4 release brought us many more funds. By establishing scholarships and contracting IT freelancers, ReactOS Deutschland e.V. is actively funding the actual ReactOS development. Apart from that, it is sponsoring and planning the presentation of ReactOS on popular Open-Source exhibitions. Furthermore, we have created an English translation of our Articles of Association/Charter and moved to English reports a while ago. This finally allows non-German members to join. Therefore, I'm inviting all active ReactOS developers to join ReactOS Deutschland e.V. as active members. Needless to say, active members don't pay any membership fees and have full voting rights at our General Assembly. We usually have such a General Assembly every year and this is basically your only duty: Attend the General Assemblies so that decisions are backed by a strong majority. The only exception I have to make is that the members candidating for the Board need to be German speakers to communicate with the authorities. This is necessary from time to time. You find the Articles of Association as well as all annual reports on our website https://ev.reactos.org To become an active member, simply fill out the application at https://ev.reactos.org/files/Membership_Application.pdf and send it to me via mail. You can cross out the "Direct Debit Authorization", this part is only relevant for supporting members. Unfortunately, we're bound to snail mail and can't do applications electronically, because I need a real signature and proof of your application for the authorities. Looking forward to your applications! :) Cheers, Colin _______________________________________________ Ros-dev mailing list Ros-dev@reactos.org http://www.reactos.org/mailman/listinfo/ros-dev
