Hey Everyone, After this last Bangalore Open DataCamp, THej and I have started to discuss the idea of forming a Trust for DataMeet, this will allow getting support for these events easier in the future. And will allow the group to do more diverse events, like skill building workshops.
Given that we are a volunteer group, getting support for these events is really difficult and involves a lot of work for the people organizing them. The plus side of forming a Trust is that we have an entity that can take money and save some juggling from the organizers. This is a major step for us as a group. So it's important to know what everyone is thinking. It will also be something that will be discussed at Bangalore's DataMeet this week. Do you think it is a good idea for us to become more formal? Do you think a Trust is best? What other things can we do as an official entity besides throw events? As we try to figure out the nuts and bolts of filling out paperwork and getting it worked out. Do any of you have any particular experience with forming a Trust? Any advice to give regarding how to proceed. That would be really helpful. Thanks everyone!
