Hi Dave and other OFLB-ers,

This effort may well help the OFLB move forward. Getting the core team
together and providing clearer ways for others to contribute can only be
useful. I like the idea of an AGPL tool dedicated to help with this.
Let's see what it can bring to our community.

I confirm that I intend to continue working with the OFLB and will
attend/contribute to the next LGM in Brussels. The initial core team
looks good to me (considering past contributions).

But what form will this proposed structure take in practise?

We need to define and finalize a charter/constitution, set up clear
community policies along with establishing non-profit/for-profit
equilibrium and the necessary funding transparency... I will send more
thoughts on this soon.


Cheers,
