I can't necessarily travel to meet up but I would be willing to contribute to fundraising throughout the year to help support the development of the operating system.

The first step in the Process is to see if enough people would be willing to become members in order for it to be worth to run the Administrative overhead. The Association is mainly intended as a Regulatory body to handle Fundraising for development and secondarily to Fund infrastructure for the Main project. While membership fees are Mandatory in the Juristications we are looking at starting the Association, they are mainly inteded to run the Administrative overhead. The main source of Funding should be via Fundraising. We are looking for at least 25 people willing to pay 30 Euros per Year and participate in the "Vereinsversammlung"(Association Meetup) once per Year. We plan to keep the barriers for Entry low so we want this Meeting to be Online. There are tools now that allow for this while satisfying the regulatory requirements. In that meeting you will have the possibility to vote on the Agenda topics and Budget of the Association. If you are interested in joing the Association please respond to this Mail. If you know somebody or a Hobby group where we could find people interested plese share this mail with them. Please feel free to ask any Questions regarding the Association on the OpenIndiana Discussion List openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org Looking forward to build this with you all -Till _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss _______________________________________________ openindiana-discuss mailing list openindiana-discuss@openindiana.org https://openindiana.org/mailman/listinfo/openindiana-discuss
