- sent out a letter to all our members at the start of the year
- pre-filled the activity calendar on the website
- tried to make discounts more visible for members
- tried to emphasize being a member supports us
- second Dark Mode event in Dordrecht
- trying out Slack as a project management tool for the Dark Mode 2027 conference
- did not manage to attract many new volunteers
- did not manage to organise the planned accessibility workshops with Jules again due to not getting around to it properly
Of course all these will also get discussed at the ALV! This information will be updated closer to the event.
