Did you read that link I mentioned in my other mail?

"Die Höchstgebühr für eine Beglaubigung ohne Entwurf beträgt 130 €."
The maximum fee for an accreditation without a draft is 130 €.
That's the DIY thing of course. What exactly are the risks there?
I've no argument whatsoever with that. It is consistent with what I have
said all along.
If you do-it-yourself, you can save money - but it presumes that you
don't put a very high price on your own time.
As for the risks, maybe I am brainwashed - by the lawyers - to use their
terms. I admit it. But as they explain even driving to the shops has
certain risks. Nothing in life is risk free.
If everything is done carefully and in order there isn't so much to
worry about.
Unfortunately, you can't get three written quotes from three different
laywers and go with the middle quote. They just don't work that way.
And you don't have to, since the law requires them all to change a
prescribed fee. As long as you give them the same details, their quote
would be exactly the same.
In theory that is true..
"bzw. bei einer Beglaubigung mit Entwurf eine halbe Gebühr nach §§ 145
Abs. 1, 38 Abs. 2 Nr. 7 KostO 13 €,"
In case of an accreditation with draft one half fee according to §§ 145
Abs. 1, 38 Abs. 2 Nr. 7 KostO 13 €.
That "half fee" would probably be the problem you mentioned, see below...
I am meeting with a group that has founded an e.V. the rest of the week,
I can ask them what they paid, how they proceeded and how generic the
charter is.
Very good.
I would be interested in helping out with the marketing if the
opportunity was available.
Ah, ok. There's the point. As soon as you're no longer non-profit (re:
marketing), you're playing in quite another league.
No, absolutely not true.
A foundation is an organisation that collects in order to give out.
In this case, what it is giving out is free software.
A successful foundation stages events, has a compelling message which it
unashamably takes out to the world and raises funds.
Funds raised can be used to pay for contractors, to fix bugs, or improve
quality. Write unit tests that nobody wants to do (as volounteers - it's
boring).
If you look at successful foundations, for example Dr Barnados in the
UK. A lot of todays marketing basics were actually developed in the
context of not-for-profit foundations.
So, yes, my idea of a foundation is which takes the Lazarus vision, and
spreads it around the world.
But there is competition out there..... Lazarus isn't the only
compiler... or development environment...
Why not take Lazarus to cebit... give out CDs.... put it on big screen
LCDs.....
Let people know about all the good things in Lazarus...
Yes, it is communicating and it is marketing.
But be realistic.... that is what every successful foundation needs to
be good at in the modern world...
Communicating the message to the market.... that's what I would like to
help out with..
