The PMC met an hour ago (see [Project Management Committee (PMC) meeting notes - #13 by yanokwa](https://forum.getodk.org/t/project-management-committee-meeting-notes/9860/13)) and has decided to adopt the [most recent proposal](https://forum.getodk.org/t/should-renaming-come-before-the-website-launch/13192/20), but moving the launch date up to next Tuesday, May 29th.

The process for making changes to the website will be through our normal file issue, send in a PR, merge by a committer process at [https://github.com/opendatakit/website](https://github.com/opendatakit/website). The caveat is that @yanokwa and @W_Brunette must both approve review and approve changes before they can go live. Changes that are contentious will require a tie-breaking vote from another member of the PMC.

If you'd like to help with this effort, a number of us will be meeting in #website on the Slack starting tomorrow at 2 pm EDT to help clear up any confusing parts of the site. We'll work asynchronously in that channel until the site is live.

**So to summarize, [http://staging.opendatakit.org](http://staging.opendatakit.org) will launch as the ODK website on Tuesday, May 29th at 00:00 UTC (8 pm EDT)**. If you'd like to help, go to [http://slack.opendatakit.org](http://slack.opendatakit.org) and join the #website channel.
