Lumiera becomes associated with the ffis
Since longer we planned to work forward to become an project associated with the ffis. http://www.ffis.de/ Now I an positive answer from Joey that we going to become an associated Project. The ffis is a german non-profit association for "Advancemnt of Free Information and Software" (freely translated). Ffis can collect donations on our behalf and manange funds. The primary goal for us would be to collect donations to cover expenses such as promotion material and travel expenses for now. Later we might even pay developers from donations but we agreed so far that this is not yet the plan (and also this has certain prerequisites, as in we can only spend money which is there and that we need to acknowlege some fair way how this should be done with all involved people) This now means that we need to do few tasks: 1. The ffis needs some official contact Persons named to represent the Project. I would propose ichthyo and myself because we live in Germany and are easily to contact for ffis people (and vice versa), but I have no objection if anyone else want to take this job. 2. The ffis needs a Project description for placing it at: http://www.ffis.de/Verein/Assoc/ Possibly in german I guess, well we have some texts (FrOSCon application etc.) so this should be no problem. 3. We need Webpage about Donations on our Server, explaining why and for what we need donations and forward people to the donation forms of the ffis. 4. The ffis needs some contact person who can log into the account there and review any donations and of course if we get donations we need to acknowledge how these shall be spend, thats a point for the next meeting.
