Ashlyn, Recently the GNHLUG group finally signed a set of incorporation papers and submitted them to the State of New Hampshire so we could start incorporation.
We were then told by the state that there already was a "Greater New Hampshire Linux Users Group", and Ted Roche of our group sent us this email: >The Secretary of State office informs me that the Greater New >Hampshire Linux User Group was registered on October 4, 2000. A >little digging on the web site yields the following documents: >https://www.sos.nh.gov/corporate/soskb/Filings.asp?443241 >https://www.sos.nh.gov/corporate/soskb/Corp.asp?443241 >Last activity appears to be the annual report filed on 2/7/2005 by >Peter Wells of Peterborough. I don't think I've met Peter, although >he lists himself as "President." I looked at the latest report, and did not recognize any of the names listed as board members, and neither did anyone else. I then tried to call Peter Wells at the listed address, and that Peter Wells listed as the "president" of the group said that he had never heard of the "Greater New Hampshire Linux Users Group". I then called the other four people listed on the form. Two said that they had never heard of the group, and the last person listed, Barbara Caverly, does not appear to exist at all. In other words, the entire report submitted on February 7th, 2005 is bogus. I was wondering if Jason could get us a copy of the original incorporation papers for Business ID 361018, so we can see the original "incorporators" of this entity. We think it might have been Jerry Kubeck, one of our members who lived in the Peterborough area, but if it was, why didn't people put their real names on the report? This really has me stumped, because whoever filed the report had to pay $100. to file it, so it is more than just an idle prank.
