I see there has been some discussion as to if it's useful to register an official org in Canada. Normally I would say no, but for the sort of stuff that sfconservancy does, then a formal org is necessary, if that's something in our future. One thing I don't see discussed anywhere, but that I'm curious to other's opition's on, is the connection to GNU. The FSF has, IMO, been a little to "married" to GNU in the past. This is understandable, since RMS started them both, but has lead to some amount of weakening of the FSF's ability to represent/advocate *all* Free Software. So, while I have no problem connection with FSF and supporting their efforts (DFD, etc), it seems a good idea (to me) to keep any FSF.ca efforts seperate from GNU (not to be against GNU, just not to be tied directly to it in any way more than any other Free Software project). Just my thoughts :) - -- Stephen Paul Weber, @singpolyma See <http://singpolyma.net> for how I prefer to be contacted edition right joseph -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (GNU/Linux) iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJPJIHvAAoJENEcKRHOUZzefrMQAK+iSxYNwg5LS5lgr7MvNJ2/ 9kKSbxesLszOZdGUCy0FHr75oKRHPbF73trCsGBFN/ydRo14tM1XE9qM/HLnrhC/ TQ2fOOB0Dda8vILG0C2vUdmkOtx3ZIlCwp626iicEinAJCCTFhmZDNSSuRyM34uL zRWdc8roNdlvpat35yaPh4vtgM+KiAfDuofozzlqFA14m1VMI5wqzOuscPqdARe0 lFDRDCDgUFG9/si0ghm+Uab7RviQIM0UdZZdh0BYbj1oBco4lXlnvRKOPDNo8TLz hOi08eAfPJlAjmX/ui854h7r6cB5b3IOXpk2wIZul8n1/Fi2PYuKeCGPGFbtwYlu QERBtW+OK8vTDsxKWBzu6pSZlf6klN9ssEJoJ5BU/mniDMU0QsDS9sDF8djSGr4x zQhu5vkL+SZW8TgpK7NMVXI9sDh5AM4cieoYXF/pirYo6/g+diZMsau7dW07Ed2e oZ4sv1BYN2eWVZvyc9jMTaYQxM2FLuXbmKPThxtF0kdE3xGh9HDPtrOMIwCn0Wqq oYt8OfBbfC4pJVJB8YCuko5NqCDEVaLowpeR/XbNc041IiCEwmuQRp4iGj8dU61x rWHQUsl9eONcQlC0nTquxmqE0JqvdQREA9rRGb6l1Vo5PEyEtv7Sd9tbY3VLEJ5Q tz6zygaYYhTXZOpuO/Q8 =XqA5 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ fsfc-discuss mailing list [email protected] https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/fsfc-discuss
