in countries like germany, france and switzerland it is very easy to set up an association.

probably easier than becoming a member project of SPI or SFC.


however. as i wrote in my previous mail, i think we should first get straight what the goals of our association are.


depending on the goals of LGF, becoming a member of SPI or SFC may give us some advantages over a simple association (using an external organization for finance matters) or will just be a useless affiliation.
