Does anyone else have Koha 'stuff' registered in their name to be released to the proposed Foundation?
Yes, others have Koha 'stuff' registered in their names. TTLLP software.coop has some rights, but we have deliberately not registered them because I believe them to be community property stewarded by us. I have notes of some of the registrations, but I'll give the registrants chance to announce themselves first. I think some things will be released to the proposed Foundation at cost and I believe some intend to offer things for sale to the Foundation. I don't think anyone has offered to donate any stuff but I could be wrong.
The question becomes, which country does the Foundation use as home? Which country is easiest & cheapest for registration? We'll need constitution & by-laws for governance.
We need governing documents, but they may be called different things elsewhere. I know England's incorporation costs, but I don't think we're a serious candidate? Can people who know US, NZ and France add costs to http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=kohafoundation please?
How do we elect Board of Directors? [...]
One member one vote, either directly or grouped into constituencies?
Do the hackers like the current set up of using Bugzilla as feature request and is this process working to get sponsors for various bits of code? If so, why change?
We've had no sponsors simply from listing on Bugzilla. Anyone?
Is Liblime still involved in the effort to set up a foundation?
We don't know. Hope that helps, -- MJ Ray (slef) LMS developer and webmaster at | software www.software.coop http://mjr.towers.org.uk | .... co IMO only: see http://mjr.towers.org.uk/email.html | .... op
