 ==== Development Progress ====

+Despite summer vacation season slowing things down a bit, the community continued to make progress on completing outstanding pull requests and tickets related to release 9.1 as we prepare for a Fall release. Much of the completed work was focused on accessibility, testing and code clarification/maintenance. The month's work also included some enhancements and useful plugins for the new search backends added last month and the addition of support for a new user interface language: Northern Sami.
 ==== Project Management Committee Report ====
-...
+The Project Management Committee discussed progress on several ongoing endeavors at their July meeting, with a particular focus on the launch of [[community:membership_drive_2023|VuFind®'s first membership drive]]. If the project is valuable to you or your organization, please consider supporting us -- see [[community:membership_levels_and_benefits|Membership Levels and Benefits]] and the [[https://vufind.org/advanced_demo/Feedback/Form/Join|Membership Form]] for more details.
 The PMC also voted to add Juha Luoma, a long-term contributor from the National Library of Finland, as a project committer. (Also note that if you or a developer you know is interested in gaining committer status, you can talk to an existing committer -- including any current PMC member -- about receiving a nomination).
