[Users] Founders stay around a little while longer.. Proposed change charter GPL -> OSI

[Barry De Graaff]

Hello All,

In the conference call yesterday we decided on our main priorities for now,

1. Getting legal stuff worked out at Zimbra Inc. so we can have contributions
2. Getting a statement from Synacor to give an OK to allow Gold Partners and 
   other people holding Zimbra contracts to be involved with the Alliance.

Quanah is taking the lead in both prios in Zimbra internally, thanks Quanah.

Since some people are still waiting for 2, we decided to wait with appointing
team leaders and directors and stick with the founders/voting process for the
control of the Alliance for the next 2 weeks or so.

This means that in case you are a founder and have not voted yet on the:
- Proposed change charter GPL -> OSI Approved licenses

This is your change. You can read the proposal below, also I am setting the voting
deadline to this on Wednesday, March 23 1900GMT.

Thanks, regards,

Barry de Graaff

Subject: Proposed change charter GPL -> OSI Approved licenses

Hello All,

I am very happy that the charter has been approved!

No directors yet, but I want to propose the following change to the charter,
with full approval of the directors (so I guess next week)

Replace:
* To promote the use and development of the F/LOSS Zimbra Server [GPL]
* To promote the change of the ZCS UI and Zimlets to a GPL license or find an
alternative development project for this.

With:

* To promote the use and development of the F/LOSS Zimbra Server.
* To promote the use of OSI Approved licenses by Zimbra Inc.
* To promote the use of OSI Approved licenses by others that do not conflict with the upstream project.

Regards, Barry
