Hi Kristof, The discussion about the partner program is a strategic discussion that we keep Partner Only so far. We will be glad to exchange the results of those discussions together with the whole community later on. This is the center piece of the business model of eZ and that is why we have partner meetings, partner mailing lists and partner forums. I hope you can understand and respect this confidentiality here. I will make sure we share info about the changes as early as possible. When it comes to our previous discussions, we should promote more any freelancer or community developer who wants to gain business from its community involvement and from its expertise. So we will go the way you have been asking for. We are also working on that so that it is part of the new community platform. A lot of organizational aspects are part of this and we will use the summer to put that in place.
So I am kindly asking for some patience here :-) However, if you have strong meaning about how you or any developer wish to be promoted / visible on the community site, please feel free to share that. I agree that we need to change this. Thanks for your patience, eZ Summer will be intense ! PS : Your questions about GPL contributions etc have been addressed by Paul and Roland in the Community track. I will check what report will be published. There is no difference in terms of contribution possibilities if you are a partner or not.
Bertrand
