Awesome!

[Amelia Eiras]

I am so excited to welcome you! 🤗

I feel thankful for the 4 of you. Most appreciative that you chose to help & become a part of the evolution of MicroProfile.  

Without individuals from diverse ecosystems such as Jelastic, Chicago JUG, Atlanta JUG, and your support, the MicroProfile community wouldn't have enjoyed a positive end of 2020  💛 

As one of the 0-day founders of MicroProfile back in June 2016 and a founder of the MPWG, I see the Garden State Java User Group,  formally joining MicroProfile on December 21st, as the best conclusion to MPWG having 6 ORG-founders + formidable contributors.  During the MPWG Life Cycle the ACGNJ was a Participant helping with the Pipeline of Membership listed on page 3.  

You shaped your environment to create a new independent reality that allows you to join this community under the Garden State ecosystem has my utmost respect. 💪 Thank you!

Based on our discussions, I understand that:

1. It took Garden State months of hard work, pandemic delays...  to get the legal not-for-profit legalized and its bank account active, yet you never gave up pushing for speed. 
2. Your desire to join the 5 ORGs in Oct was not possible due to things out of your control, yet you continued contributions & helping on this you had control over.
3. Your hope & desire to be an MPWG Member from Dec 21st and paid for the 3 months of 2020 that were prorated is well understood. It is valid, fair, and deserved. Plus you got the paperwork as soon as you could!  

See you on Tuesday as a Steering Committee Member!

Welcome.

What do JUGs pay for that in the long term?

There is no such thing as a "Contributing Member" according to the charter: https://www.eclipse.org/org/workinggroups/microprofile-charter.php so is  GSJUG  an Invited Member or a Corporate Member?

In which case I assume JUGs normally would qualify for the smallest category with a  $1,500 (or is it € now) fee due every Jan 1.

Unless JUG members were seen as employees but I doubt that.

Also given Amelia mentioned the Steering Committee, it must be a Corporate membership then, since only Corporate members (aside from an elected Committer rep) have a seat there ;-)

Maybe the "Contributing" membership refers to Eclipse Foundation https://www.eclipse.org/membership/#tab-fees ?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I assume if a JUG joins Eclipse Foundation in that category it's 1k (in the applicable currency) plus another 1.5k to join the MP WG.
