In order to shunt the heat off trilug, like a heat sink shunts the heat off of a CPU, I humbly offer a link to my Linux-phpBB-based Political forum.
www.tungsai.com/bbs Go give "Misterbill" hell, he's a political vacuum that absorbs all other opinions and reduces them to Null. I apologize for propigating yet more OT spam, but I promise this'll be the last concerning politics. Also if it we not allowed to "advertise" here. Trust me, I make NO $$$ off this forum. wab, a.k.a. tungsai -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Steve Litt Sent: Thursday, October 07, 2004 3:20 PM To: Triangle Linux Users Group discussion list Subject: Re: [TriLUG] On Topic - trusted computing vs Linux usability (wasOT : Don't let Cheney hide) On Thursday 07 October 2004 11:54 am, john mitchell wrote: > In that case trilug will have to amend the fifth article in the > Articles of Incorporation: ( http://www.trilug.org/articles.php ) > > (excerpt): > "No substantial part of the activities of the corporation shall be the > carrying on of propaganda, or otherwise attempting to influence > legislation, and the corporation shall not participate in, or > intervene in (including the publishing or distribution of statements) > any political campaign on behalf of or in opposition to any candidate > for public office." As I read the above, it would prevent TriLUG from evangelizing Linux (propaganda). IIRC, to be a 501C3 the main thing is not to have the club support specific candidates.
