Replying to my own post again. It dawn on me this morning that some might think this is going to turn into a money maker or a money grab. Just to be clear, I think if LinuxFest were to be run as a for profit venture, it would fail, not to mention that it would violate the spirit of Linux and Open Source if the event was for profit.
I believe if we entertain this ownership idea, whoever is backing it should have the right to be recoup their expenses, but any funds over and above that should flow back to the not for profit such as CLUG or associated group that is participating. Just thought I would make that clear before people get the notion that there is a big windfall to be made. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kin Wong" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "CLUG General" <[email protected]> Sent: Thursday, June 7, 2007 7:47:51 PM (GMT-0700) America/Chihuahua Subject: [clug-talk] LinuxFest 2007 We certainly have had our fair share of bumps trying to get this thing going this year. I would like to solicit the groups feelings prior to the exec meeting this Sunday. Does it matter to anyone who owns or directs LinuxFest as long as Clug is a participant and has a say? Does anybody have deep enough pockets and want to own LinuxFest? Personally, I just want to see it move along. _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying _______________________________________________ clug-talk mailing list [email protected] http://clug.ca/mailman/listinfo/clug-talk_clug.ca Mailing List Guidelines (http://clug.ca/ml_guidelines.php) **Please remove these lines when replying
