I'm certainly in for an association aboutweb2py. However, promoting
the use of free software in general as #1 purpose seems to me a much
too broad focus for such an association. Free software is already
promoted by a lot of people and organizations, and we won't do a
better job in general. We will do a better job for web2py.

IMHO, certification should be an option for members, not mandatory. We
may need also sales people and marketing people, not only technical
people.

This one is very difficult on a global basis.
