Does anyone have any recommended reading to suggest before the meeting? For example, explanation of existing foundations, good information about getting a foundation started, etc? I'm flying blind as far as knowing how to proceed. -- Owen -- Web Developer Athens County Public Libraries http://www.myacpl.org

The Kuali Foundation is one example of a well-functioning FOSS foundation. I'm no guru in this matter, but I have been impressed with what this organization has done. http://www.kuali.org/ Kind Regards, Chris Christopher Nighswonger Faculty Member Network & Systems Director Foundations Bible College & Seminary www.foundations.edu www.fbcradio.org ------------- NOTICE: The information contained in this electronic mail message is intended only for the use of the intended recipient, and may also be protected by the Electronic Communications Privacy Act, 18 USC Sections 2510-2521.

I've linked from http://wiki.koha.org/doku.php?id=meetingnotes09sep15 to the old kohafoundation wiki page. I will now update it to include some information from the public list and IRC discussions since its last revision (April 2006), as well as a couple of other links (so please check the Last Updated line is 2009 before editing!). 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
