Joining OW2 Consortium (reminder)

["Cedric Thomas" <cedric.thomas@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Dear All,

I am writing to remind you that as ObjectWeb and OrientWare merged to
become OW2 on January 1, 2007, you need to use the on-line registration
at http://joining.ow2.org/registration.html to become a member of the new
organization.

Smaller organizations may be interested to know that we have introduced a
new membership fee category of ?1,000 for Micro-enterprises (as defined
by the European Commission at
http://europa.eu/scadplus/leg/en/lvb/n26026.htm).

Please note that applications received and paid in full by March 18,
2007, will benefit from founding membership status.

The Management Office and I look forward to working with you on making
OW2 the leading open source middleware consortium it deserves to be.

Best regards,

Cedric Thomas

PS: OW2 Registration process:

First, please go to www.ow2.org, download and read the Consortium Bylaws,
its Intellectual Property Rights Policy and its Membership Agreement.

Then it is imperative you proceed through the OW2 Online Registration
process:

1) Former ObjectWeb members
Former ObjectWeb members may transfer their information to OW2 by login
in at: http://myow2.objectweb.org/viewProfile.php. From there, you can
validate or update the information we already have on yourself or your
organization.

2) New members
New members must complete the Online Registration process at
http://joining.objectweb.org/registration.html

Please note that the Online Registration process will automatically
generate a completed Membership Agreement in .pdf format. All you need to
do is print it and send two copies (of which one will be returned to you)
of the signed original Membership Agreement to:

Regarding membership fees, Purchasing Power Parity (PPP) rules as defined
