URGENT: Director + Founders wanted
Hello Community

I'm sure you already heard that Hildon Foundation is planning to move to
new grounds by transitioning to a german "eingetragener Verein" (e.V.).
(http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=91155)

This has become a pressing issue with the resignation of Woody14619
(http://talk.maemo.org/showthread.php?t=92438), since with him, we also
lost some of our actionability for different reasons.

Besides that, it is desired to have funds accessible where major costs
for the maemo infra accrue, where the servers reside.
As current HiFo board and council member, I am offering my services as
chairman and an office address for the new organisation. Gido Griese is helping
with the initial steps of founding.

Fortunately, there already is a second board-candidate: juiceme, currently
member of the Maemo Community Council.
As the board for the e.V. is supposed to consist of 3 directors,
we need one more.

If you're a well-known contributor on maemo.org and are able to support the
movement as a director or founder, please step up.

Restrictions apply, though. As a founder, you have to be EU citizen, as a
director, you have to be EU resident.

For now, the plan is to hold the kickoff meeting on tuesday, march 04 in
#maemo-meeting channel on freenode IRC.


Regards,
Ruediger Schiller

Sorry, correct should be: As a founder, you have to be EU *resident OR
citizen*...
But in order to keep delays and risks through postal service minimal
(bylaws have to be originally signed by every founder), we are aiming to
find nearby mates. So far, founders reside in Kaiserslautern and Hamburg
in Germany, and Helsinki or Järvenpää in Finland. The third directors'
region will mark a new hotspot where founders can sign the bylaws
(Kolding is Denmark looks sweet so far).
Think global, act local

I'm afraid, due to translation issues, the announced date (tue, march
04) for the kickoff meeting will hardly be sustainable. Shifting it a
few days is no problem though and we're already working on the
translation. You can review the actual version in german language in
these webpads:
Bylaws: https://etherpad.mozilla.org/AMabik4zeD
General Regulations: https://etherpad.mozilla.org/imtFYfpUKK
Board Regulations: https://etherpad.mozilla.org/uwQXMscA2n
Contributions to the english translation at the end of each document are
highly appreciated.

Thanks & Regards
