[Olivier Dony <odo@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hello everyone!

Following the recent roll-out of the new openerp.com
<http://www.openerp.com> website, and according to what we have
previously announced and discussed on these lists, we are going to add
a section for Local OpenERP communities on the website soon.

You will find below the description we are planning to publish.

What do you all think? Any other suggestion for the rights and duties
of OpenERP Communities? Any key point we forgot to mention?

Thanks!

*OpenERP Local Communities *

With the incredible success of OpenERP around the world,
locally-initiated communities have been given an official recognition:
OpenERP Local Communities. Their purpose is to connect individuals and
companies sharing the same interests: country or region, industry
domain, language, etc., and they are not necessarily restricted to
per-country communities. These groups actively promote, translate,
develop and organize all kind of activities around OpenERP. Anyone is
free to participate in a Local Community: individuals, companies,
public institutions, etc.

To receive official recognition as an OpenERP Local Community, your
team must satisfy a few criteria, in order to clearly identify the
real communities out there:

   -
      - Promote or contribute to OpenERP
   - Have a clear and public explanation of the goals and rules of
your group (should be easily found on the homepage for your community)
   - Be open to new members satisfying your community rules that want
to join the group
   - Gather at least 20 votes for the creation of this group (it could
be facebook friends, votes on the community mailing-list, etc.)

As long as your community follows the above rules, OpenERP will ensure
the following:

   - Your community, its description, links and details will be listed
on the official openerp.com website, in the Community section
   - You will be allowed to use the official [OpenERP Community] logo

If you have not found any existing Local Community that satisfies your
needs and feel the need to create a new one, please send the following
information to webmaster [-at-] openerp [-dot-] com:


   -
      - The logo of your group (we will propose some logos, but you are
      still free to make your own)
      - Link to the website of your group (can be a launchpad team or
      project, forum, blog, facebook page, ...)
   - Link to the official communication channel(s) of your group (anything
      relevant: blog, forums, mailing-lists, twitter, linked-in, facebook, ..)
   - A summary of the goals of your group in english AND in the language of
      your community
   - Link to the page that lists all members of the group and how to apply
      for membership
      - Plus, optionally (if these are not already mentioned in the previous
      items):
         - Link to the launchpad page of your group
         - Link to the Facebook page of your group
         - Link to the Twitter account of your group
         - Link to the list of events organized by your group (eventbrite,
         facebook or other)


Any update to the above information can be sent through the same channel.
