Los días 17, 18 y 19 de Abril se llevo a cabo en Porto Alegre (Brasil) el 9º Foro Internacional de Software Libre (FISL).

Dentro del programa de charlas y ponencias, la Comunidad de Software Libre Morfeo fue objeto de atención contando con una oportunidad privilegiada desde donde compartir su experiencia dentro de las comunidades de orientación I+D+i e ilustrar algunas de sus tecnologías de éxito. Marcelo D’Elia Branco actuó como cicerone acompañando a los ponentes durante las presentaciones.

La Comunidad Morfeo contó con tres slots el sábado 19. En el primero de ellos, a cargo de Andrés L. Martínez Ortiz, se presento la comunidad y sus principales características.

A continuación, Marcos Reyes y Miguel Cañas desarrollaron durante 2 horas una presentación / taller donde se muestran las principales bondades de ezWeb.

Por último, Cristian Rodriguez llevo a cabo una presentación / taller de MyMobileWeb.

Sirvan las siguientes imágenes de testimonio gráfico de nuestra presencia en el FISL.

Participation in MORFEO

There are two ways of participating in Morfeo depending on how involved the participant is in any of the Morfeo projects:

• As a MORFEO Collaborator
• As a MORFEO Member

MORFEO Collaborator

MORFEO collaborators are users or developers of a community project that have not yet been promoted to members. Forum members can collaborate on reporting bugs, and developing documentation and code. However, their contributions have to be approved by some project member, as collaborators should not have write access to the data repository.

MORFEO Members

MORFEO members will participate actively and make a significant contribution to any of the projects making up the community of communities or collaborate significantly as advisors.

Eligible candidates for MORFEO membership are:

• Any corporation, consortium or individual leading a project and satisfying the conditions and rules set by the Community
• Participants in projects hosted by MORFEO proposed by the project Management Committee
• Relevant individuals or organizations that participate in organizational positions

To be a member of MORFEO:

• The candidate should accept and sign the MORFEO charter
• The candidate should propose a new MORFEO project or should be proposed by the manager of an existing project who should justify the candidate’s adequacy:
  • Activity measures above a defined threshold (data repository analysis metrics could be used for this purpose)
  • Financial collaboration with the project.
  • Sponsorship or advertising support for the project.
  • Consulting services.

Steady project participants should be Community members, and each project is responsible for defining the rules for such promotion, as well as for notifying the Community’s Board of Directors of who is to stand as a candidate to.

Initially, there are no costs associated with MORFEO membership.

The Community shall in no case be bound by the opinions stated by MORFEO members. This is the Director’s and the Community’s Board of Directors’ responsibility. Any other member who wishes to make a statement on behalf of MORFEO should first seek authorization from the Board of Directors. MORFEO members shall only be entitled to use the name of the community subject to express permission. Breach of this rule is a possible ground for expulsion from MORFEO.

Acceptance process

• If a non-member organization proposes a project, its membership will be approved when the project is approved by the MORFEO Board of Directors
• Community membership will have to be approved by the MORFEO Board of Directors at the initiative of the Community’s Board of Directors or at the proposal of a Project Manager.
• Before approving membership of MORFEO, MORFEO’s Board of Directors will publish the candidature, opening a period in which any MORFEO member shall be entitled to object to the nomination.
• At the end of this period, the Board of Directors will make a decision on the candidature. As of when the candidate is accepted, it shall be entitled to publicize its membership of MORFEO under the terms agreed by both parties and defined by MORFEO.

Deregistration

The project membership conditions shall be defined exclusively internally. However, MORFEO’s Board of Directors decides when a member has to give up community membership.

The following shall be grounds for expulsion from MORFEO:

• Express request by the member
• Non-fulfilment of the commended functions
• Breach of any of the MORFEO Charter principles
• Participation in no organizational position or project. To this end, MORFEO’s Board of Directors shall regularly receive each project’s active members accounts from each Project Management Committee.

Community Organs of Government

The MORFEO community has the following organs of government:

• Project Management Committees, with a Manager representing each project.
• MORFEO General Assembly
• MORFEO’s Board of Directors, with a Director representing the Community.

Additionally, there will be a MORFEO Office, led by a Head of Office, responsible for administrative tasks, organizing events, managing news and liaising between projects.
