[Zope-Annce] Zope.org operations and more...

[Rob Page]

Hello everyone:

We have done a fair bit of work in the last few weeks to
address some of the community's recent concerns.  In summary
we've taken (or about to take) the following steps:

 - organized ourselves internally to start the process of
   involving the community in the ongoing development,
   operations and maintenance of Zope.org.

   You can find details on this effort at:

       - http://www.zope.org/About

   Related to this are two new documents explaining the
   site's service terms and privacy policy:

       - http://www.zope.org/TOS/TermsOfService
       - http://www.zope.org/TOS/Privacy

 - organized ourselves internally and developed some new
   procedures for managing trademark licenses.  You can find
   details online at:

       - http://www.zope.com/Legal/TMProcedures

In addition, we are going to experiment with a few
mechanisms at improving the regularity, predictability and
quality of communication we have with the Zope community.

The first such experiment will be an IRC session as follows:

  - Tuesday, Dec 16, 2003, 11a-12p (US/EST  GMT-5)

    on irc.zope.com
    in #zope-community    

Zope reps on the IRC session will include Rob Page, Jim
Fulton, Brian Lloyd, Jens Vagelpohl and Shane Hathaway.  We
hope you can join us!
