Hi!
After the discussion we had today at LGM about creating an Libre
Graphics Foundation or similar, I'd like to make a proposal for the
charter. I've concentrated on aims and membership, not procedures. As an
umbrella organization, it should concentrate on connecting people and
organizing partnerships between its members. The member organizations
would actually carry out the projects. This would also keep costs and
membership fees to a minimum.
Ok, I'm expecting comments!

Libre Graphics is a term that describes the idea that people use floss
tools to create and distribute free content. (needs expanding)
1 Name
The name of the organization is Libre Graphics Network (TBD)
Network seems a bit bland and ambiguous to me. I think it's worth trying
to generate a number of possibilities, some admittedly not very good,
yet sometimes bad ideas lead to unexpected better ideas.
So if we begin to think of possible words which might fit into a
framework like 'Libre Graphics X', here are some of my idease for X:
Affiliation; Amalgamation; Assembly (or Assemblage - a legitimate
English word); Association; Cartel; Chamber; Coalition; Commission;
Committee; Confederation; Confluence; Congress; Consortium; Convergence;
Cooperative; Council; Ensemble; Enterprise; Family; Fellowship; Forum;
Foundation; Fraternity; Gang; Group; Guild; Harmony; Institute; League;
Legion; Mob; Nexus; Partnership; Posse; Service; Society; Squad;
Syndicate; Tribe; Troupe; Union; Unity
Again, these are just ideas to toss around coming from a thesaurus search.
