GLUG Meeting on 8th 4pm at PUKAR, Near CST.
Proposal:
FSF India is already a registered not-for profit company. A lawyer and a chartered accountant are already appointed to care of the
office
So FSF India it is. Forget about registering GLUG. Only one assurance neede from FSF India - Money dispersed to donor lugs should be a reasonable proportion of their donations. This will ensure that non donor Lugs do not become a drain on others. I guess B'lore will be ahead in donating.
Actually money involvement is least for running GLUG: if CDs selling is left completely to the person who is burning, who sells and keeps the extra money with him/her, and now and then if s/he wishes contributes to FSF.
Distributing CD's is not a profitable business unless the charges are about Rs.400-500 per cd at volumes of less than hundred a month.
Having spent my time for a national body already in getting it registered, I am not in favor of getting into another.
Very true.
Keep up the good work, money is never an issue. What is the issue
is
TIME. Let each of us do a good auditing of how much time is spent
in
promoting swatantra software.
First think of donating TIME, and if you cant, then donate Money.
And
ask money from those who agree to our ideals and cant donate time.
HINT taken ;-).
