Our Board of Directors manages ALASCA with skill and passion and consists of three members: The chairman, the vice-chair and the treasurer, whereby the Board is always represented by two Board members at the same time. The Board of Directors is appointed by the General Meeting - always for a term of two years. The tasks of our Board of Directors include the admission of new members, the convening and preparation of the General Meeting, including the implementation of resolutions passed in the meeting, as well as the administration of the association's assets. It is also responsible for appointing the Marketing and PR Team and the Community Management.
Driven by their enthusiasm for open source technologies, our members work together on digital sovereignty for Europe. They also form the General Meeting of ALASCA. The General Meeting is responsible, among other things, for amendments to the statutes, the election of the Board of Directors and the Technical Steering Committee and for setting membership fees. It meets at least once a year to discuss developments in the organisation and other matters and, if necessary, to pass resolutions on specific issues.
Legal entities (e.g., companies and other forms of organisation) as well as private individuals (i.e.: natural persons) who wish to support the association can become ordinary members. Supporting memberships in ALASCA are also possible. Every ordinary member is entitled to vote at the General Meeting and has one vote, while supporting members can participate in the General Meeting but are not entitled to vote.
Our motivated Marketing & PR team gives visibility to ALASCA's mission and keeps interested minds up to date on all progress. This includes, among other things, managing our LinkedIn channel, preparing press releases and our quarterly newsletters, organising events and our ALASCA Tech-Talks as well as designing and managing the ALASCA website.
In addition, the team brings life into ALASCA's new open source projects by creating a visual identity. With attention to detail, the special characteristics of the project are captured and reflected, for example, in a logo and other identity components. This is always done in close collaboration with the project managers.
You can reach out to the team via hello@alasca.cloud for press enquiries at any time.
In ALASCA, the community is particularly important. For us, the community does not only include the members and open source projects within the organisation, but also other projects and initiatives in the European open source landscape with which we collaborate. Our Community Management is therefore responsible for coordination and organisations tasks, for the dissemination of information and for the further development of the association on the community side.
