OpenStack Foundation Initial Sign Up Period

Hi everyone,

We've been making great progress on the formation of the OpenStack Foundation: Individual Members can register now at http://openstack.org/join.

The drafting committee has completed their work, and we have a complete set of legal documents. Our Bylaws, with appendices, and Member agreements are now posted online on http://www.openstack.org/legal/.

We've all worked very hard as a community to reach this point, and it's an exciting moment for all of us. In just two years, OpenStack has been established as one of the most important and fast-growing open source projects to date. We're witnessing an historic moment and should all take pride in having a part in shaping it.

Individual contributors, here are steps you can now take to secure representation in the OpenStack Foundation:

1. Join as an Individual Member: http://www.openstack.org/join by August 15
2. Nominate an Individual for the Board of Directors: Send nominations to secretary [at] openstack by August 6 (candidates require 10 nominations to appear on the ballot)
2. Vote for Individuals to be on the Board of Directors: Elections take place August 20-24

To provide more context, the following is a full list of key dates and milestones through the formation of the Foundation:

- July 18 - Initial Platinum, Gold & Individual membership sign up period opens
- July 18 - Nomination period for Individual member board directors opens
- August 6 - Nomination period for Individual member board directors closes
- August 15 - Initial Platinum, Gold & Individual membership sign up period closes
- August 20-24 - Gold & Individual Board director elections
- August 27 - Initial Board meeting via teleconference - operational setup
- September - Begin operational transition
- October 15 - First regular quarterly Board meeting at OpenStack Summit

Today marks a huge milestone! Thank you so much to each of you who helped to drive this process forward and define the framework for our community,

Jonathan

I tried to sign up yesterday, but got a blank page after completing the
form. Now when I try to fill in the form again it says my email has
already been registered. However, I didn't get a confirmation email or
anything like that.

Can you confirm if I am registered or not? Is there meant to be some
sort of confirmation sent?

Thanks,
Mikal

Sorry about that. We had a bug for few minutes last night but it's fixed now.

In every case like this we've checked the sign up WAS completed.

When you log into your account you should see the individual member agreement listed, which indicates you have completed sign up.
