Hello All
After the Gründungsversammlung (Founding meeting) on the 7th of January
it is my Pleasure to Announce that OIDA has officially been founded.
In that Meeting the name was also voted and decided on so if you are
Confused what OIDA is, it's the Association I was looking for founding
members a couple months ago.
Attached you will find also the Notes, we will sign them in the next
couple Weeks from the Board and With that we have all basics covered.
Next Steps:
- I will contect everybody that has wished to be a member individually
and confirm with them Membership status
More details to come in other Announcement Mails, but I wanted to share
the good news already now.
Greetings
Till
