Pascal wrote many interesting things, that comfirm my feeling that the foundation should not use the "openSUSE" work in it's name nor in it's goals.
Huh? No, I wrote that we have an "unofficial" (as in: not written down on paper) agreement that Novell will license the use of the openSUSE trademark to the openSUSE foundation. And, hence, we can use the name openSUSE for the foundation. (again, disclaimer, that's the current state of things)
Let's be more general. I still also think than a foundation have to be a - say by analogy - a holding, having several local non profit organisations.
And why would that be? What's the point of doing that? Except making it a lot more complicated ?
I'm ready to create such thing in France, it's enough to be 3 people :-), but better begin with the foundation (or not?)
Yes, we should definitely concentrate on the foundation to get
that done.
Note that a lot of work has already been done there, we're not
starting at zero at this point.
Documentation about where we are right now in the process will
be available soon on the wiki, and let's please start from there
and not from the beginning, unless there is really a compelling
reason to do so.
(= please wait for the documentation to be there, read it, and
then I and everyone else involved will be more than happy to
have more feedback and input to discuss on the foundation
mailing-list)
cheers
