Just some through on top too : - we can name it "foundation" even in the real status is an association : the name will reflect our project to found libre graphics projects. - I like Create too... as John said, maybe we can raise found if we feel so, and it will be a potential rallying cry. - we will surely ask some help from the Gnome foundation anyway... at least their expertise ! Keep going... <div class="gmail_quote">2010/5/31 a.l.e <<a href="mailto:ale.comp_06@xox.ch">ale.comp_06@xox.ch</a>> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;">hi jon,<div class="im"> <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"> here's an idea, take create and/or create foundation or whatever its called to sflc software conservancy (eben moglen's law firm) my friend bradley kuhn runs, and inkscape is a part of, and move create project, whatever libregraphics projects exist, and then that gives the benefits of a foundation without all the loads of work involved with creating. I can put that into motion quick, and it works super well! </blockquote> </div> i don't 100% get your proposal... can we have a bulletted version of it? :-) some thoughts on top of it: - at the bof there was some sort of agreement to build an association instead of a foundation (it was more a preference than a final decision) - in that case, we would ask the gnome foundation if it agrees to manage our finances as it does for the LGM (we may ask another foundation, too) - it may not be easy to get <a href="http://create.org" target="_blank">create.org</a> yes, create is a great name, but we need the domain name attached to it! ciao a.l.e<div><div></div><div class="h5"> _______________________________________________ CREATE mailing list <a href="mailto:CREATE@lists.freedesktop.org" target="_blank">CREATE@lists.freedesktop.org</a> <a href="http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/create" target="_blank">http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/create</a> </div></div></blockquote></div>
