Thank you, Virginie, for everything you have brought to the community. If each of us is a brick in the wall, you have undoubtedly played the role of cement between all these bricks, with the aim of making it stronger and more resilient. Knowing that you will remain among us as a member ensures that we will continue to benefit from your good humor and optimism during our future meetings and exchanges.

Welcome to Julie, who I am sure will take up the torch to continue on the path that has been laid out and take us beyond what we can imagine today.

Thank you also to the board and all the members who bring this community to life.

Best regards,

Hello everyone,

I am very happy to share that we found our new OCA Executive Director!

Julie LeBrun, who has been our Content Creator & Training Manager since February, will take the Executive Director role starting on the 17th November, just after my last week.

As Julie has been around, she is aware of the current projects and initiatives, so the handover should be very smooth. We are currently working on the transfer of all information. She has been very efficient and motivated in her role inside the OCA, so I am very confident that the new role will fit her well.

Congratulations to Julie!

On my side, it's time to say goodbye. My last official day will be on the 13th November and in the meantime I focus on sharing as much information as possible to Julie. We are currently working on important initiatives regarding our tools (migration to v18 - bidder has been selected, improved back end linked with GitHub, a new App store where it's easy to find modules - offers are under review). And very soon... the launch of our new crowdfunding platform! Stay tuned!

I thank everyone in the community for their enthusiasm, kindness and passion. It's when things get difficult that we see the true heart of the people around. I saw stubbornness, for sure, but I saw mostly a lot of love and engagement towards the open source and sharing principles.

I'll be around as a "simple user" with my accounting cooperative in Belgium (yes, we have customers on CE and EE, both! - and yes, another cooperative!), and my next mission is to convince my colleagues to become OCA Sponsors and pay a membership to all our team members. That's what I expect you will all be doing as well ;-) The OCA will be what its members and supporters will give.

If you'd like to keep in touch, you can find me on LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/vdewulf/) and Mastodon (https://fosstodon.org/@vdew).

Enjoy your week,
Virginie Dewulf
Executive Director
