TDF’s Membership Committee announces a new membership management system: Proteus

The Membership Committee (MC) at The Document Foundation is responsible for managing membership applications and renewals. The primary objective of their task is to carefully evaluate applications from individuals who want to become members of TDF. Also the members’ contributions to the LibreOffice project are verified, in order to ensure a transparent, fair, and efficient membership process.

To do it, a script created by the early MC members has been used for many years. With the introduction of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and the drive for improved internal processes, the MC decided to develop a new open source management system that meets the legal requirements for members’ and applicants’ data governance.

During 2022, an open source tool called Proteus was developed. Proteus will be used for renewals and applications starting in the second half of 2023. All TDF members with renewals due in this quarter are called upon to submit their information through the new system, which will utilize Single Sign-On and can be accessed on this page. If you have questions, please contact the MC.
