Hello everybody,

I think it is the time to move forward with project management 
structure. During last days there were talks and discussions on the 
lists, the solution to make the project independent and long term 
trustable is to create a foundation.

We made a draft of purpose and organization structure and we want to get 
your comments.

For the statute we are looking at similar cases of foundations around 
open source projects. Considering the developer population and 
contributors, I find as good and reliable place to register the 
foundation to be Germany.

There is still long way to go and a lot to discuss:

    *

      membership fees

    *

      how one can become a full member (associate member can be anyone
      that is friend of the project and pays the membership fee)

    *

      how a member loses the board or full member rights

    *

      how the board is supervised

          o

            when and how the reports of the board are presented

          o

            when and how the general assembly meeting takes place

          o

            how the reports are approved by full members

    *

      how to change the statute over time

... and perhaps more, but if we start and put some effort we can have it 
ready in reasonable time, avoiding trust and reliability issues in long 
term.

Let's have debates here and contribute the results to the wiki.

Cheers,
Daniel
