Re: Temporary working name of the central project group

Good idea. Does this mean that we should also think about legally instituting a (non-profit or for-profit) foundation (would surely help to manage funds and get donations, where necessary, without coming into conflict with local or international laws, especially tax laws)? I would not do it now. It...

Re: Temporary working name of the central project group

Rene, I do agree, the two meanings of 'board' should be clearly separated. So let us call it what it is: "board of directors". A director is somebody who directs, i.e. defines the way to go. And this is what we are supposed to do no matter which legal form we have or if we have a legal for...

Re: Temporary working name of the central project group

I think what we temporarily call the 'center' is more commonly referred to as the 'board'.
The board (of a company or club) is where the decisions are made and where the responsibility is.
If it is called 'board' everybody understands it with little need for more explanation.

Re: Admission of new center members

Re: Specifications for Hosting

If we use a virtual Linux server for hosting it can be used for whatever task will appear in the future. So we don't have to specify the individual tasks up front. I would start with a small server and upgrade it as needed. With the money collected so far we can already run this server for a couple ...
