The OCA has a new Executive Director - starting on the 17th Nov.

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

    Hi Virginie, 

    thank you for all you did for and with the OCA. Without you we would not have made such a huge progress. Of course i'd like to stay in close contact with you and count on you and your team as a strong supporter of the common goals of the OCA.
    After all good luck and success for you privately and as an entrepreneur.

    Best Frederik
