Galette is an online tool to manage membership and fees dedicated to non profit organisations. It mainly allows executive members to know which fees will soon reach their due dates. Beside that, each member can have it's own credential to review (or change) it's personal information. On the technical side, all you need is a web server supporting PHP4 and a database (MySQL or PostgreSQL)

The name Galette is an acronym for Gestionnaire d'Adhérents en Ligne Extrêmement Tarabiscoté mais Tellement Efficace, that means Extremely Sophisticated but so Efficient On-Line Membership Manager. The french word galette also means (popular) Money. Unfortunately, the translation removes all the fun !
