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. > 2) select the best open software that works with web2py (cherokee, > linux, postgresql, etc.) ok > 3) certify members as experts in web2py and in those other software > technologies selected by the members IMHO, certification should be an option for members, not mandatory.
