Indeed, and the original FSFE model was even more unorthodox as it envisioned the members being members of both the FSFE "Hub", and the local chapters. I'm glad to have gone away from that model and I'm vary of establishing own organisations for the FSFE again. But I do like the idea of working with existing organisations that already serve specific geographic areas (or topics?) -- which is somewhat what we try to do with our associate organisation program. -- Jonas Öberg, Executive Director Free Software Foundation Europe | jo...@fsfe.org Your support enables our work (fsfe.org/join) _______________________________________________ Discussion mailing list Discussion@lists.fsfe.org https://lists.fsfe.org/mailman/listinfo/discussion
