in countries like germany, france and switzerland it is very easy to set up an association. probably easier than becoming a member project of SPI or SFC. however. as i wrote in my previous mail, i think we should first get straight what the goals of our association are. depending on the goals of LGF, becoming a member of SPI or SFC may give us some advantages over a simple association (using an external organization for finance matters) or will just be a useless affiliation. ciao a.l.e _______________________________________________ CREATE mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/create
