-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 This is VERY interesting indeed. Any LoCo that does this would be able to make official proposals to organizations like Becta, I am pretty sure. A LoCo that did this would be a VERY valuable marketing partner for getting Ubuntu into schools and government offices, maybe even corporations. Wouldn't that just ruffle old Bill Gates's feathers!!! LOL I sure hope the UK LoCo gives this some serious thought. Hint Hint :-) As well as every LoCo in the US!
Once we get ourselves organized, maybe we should set up a committee to work on how we can help the LoCos who decide to become legal entities do some serious B2B marketing. And to encourage as many LoCos to take this step. Help them do the necessary research; point out the benefits; and help them set up a marketing plan. This is what we should be doing for the LoCos. Whoever becomes the LoCo liason really should get in touch with the Danish team and see what we can do to help them as well as learn the process of becoming a legal entity. Yes, it will be somewhat different in each country, but working with the Danish team to see what they are doing will give us a framework to start from. - -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Legal entity - part 2. Date: Sat, 7 Jun 2008 12:24:05 +0200 From: Søren Bredlund Caspersen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Reply-To: Ubuntu local community team (LoCo) contacts <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Ubuntu local community team (LoCo) contacts <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi again everyone. There seemed to be a bit of interest in the aspect of turning LoCo teams into legal entities. So I would like to keep you all up to date, and invite you to take a look at what the Danish Team is working on. At the Community Council meeting last month the council was open to the idea, but would like at more specific proposal. Since then we have been working on such a proposal. It can be seen here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DanishTeam/Møder/UbuntuDKsomForening/CCSvar My hope is that we can have it finalized for the next CC meeting on the 17th of this month. If the CC accepts our proposal we hope to be able to help other teams going through the same process. We might even be able to make a generalised guide that would just need to be adjusted to local laws and customs. However for now the page linked above is meant to be a specific proposal for how the Danish Team might go about this process. Feel free to comment - feedback is more than welcome. When we present the page to the CC I will do my best to keep this list updated on their response. Kind regads Søren - -- loco-contacts mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/loco-contacts - -- Peace!
