Advisory board / End User Group

Chair?

Meets at least once a year

It was felt that there was some redundancy with those two body which would impose unnecessary management work (meeting organisation, …). It was decided to slightly modify the management structure by having only one advisory board composed of 6 to 8 people, some of which would be end users. The end user group will be replaced by an informal community, modelled by a public and open mailing list.

Names were suggested for the advisory board.
