Dear members and friends of ipernity,

1) Ipernity General Assembly (IGA).
This year's annual meeting will take place on 23 March 2025 at 5:00pm Paris (16:00 UTC). Instructions on how to attend will be posted in a couple of weeks.

Four board positions are up for election this year. President, Vice President, Webmaster and Moderator. If any club member who is interested in standing for any of these positions hasn't already contacted the team, please do so through ipermail or a help ticket. See here for details of the responsibilities of each mandate.

Do you have an item that you would like to be brought to the membership? Please contact the team through ipermail for it to be considered for the IGA Agenda.

2) Newly revived group.
Thanks to new administrator, Luis Miguel, the group Architecture in Spain has been revived.

This group had become dormant and as some other administrators have done (thank you!) Luis took the time to refresh the banner, add all 7 languages, remove off topic images, invite contacts and suggest images that fit the theme. Quickly it has become quite active. This type of dedication to a group is what helps keep ipernity lively.

Luis had never administered a group before. Having now taken on five new groups, Luis writes: In an effort to revitalize orphaned groups, the board worked to refresh the following groups by finding a new administrator, and making sure the banners, group icons and the existing seven languages were all up to date. The groups are:
- South Tyrol
- Volcanoes and volcanic landscapes
- Waterfalls
- Tenerife
- Architecture in Spain

There are lots of such administrators on ipernity - will you become the next one?

3) In memoria. We are sad to bring you the news of two of our member's who have passed away. Ulrich John and cp_u left us in January 2025. Lasting comments, thoughts and memories can be made on their 'in memoria' pages here.

Your ima team.
