RE: [Consortium] Misc. updates

Thank you for that motion! I would love to hear from a couple other people stationed in US in order to see whether we can pull this off in a meaningful and timely fashion. FWIW, I will gladly assist with the tax-related matters as well as considerations surrounding incorporating in US. Regarding softwarefreedom, I will contact them as soon as I get back to the States. I will be out of the country until July 12th, but should be able to check my e-mail at least every couple days. Hence, if you do happen to have any pressing matters, please do not hesitate to contact me. Apropos Linuxaudio.org, I'll spend next month or so working on the bylaws and articles of incorporation. We've had also an encouraging response to the call for the website maintenance assistance, as well as consortium writers/editors/reporters. I will be contacting everyone who has responded shortly. There are still a couple memberships pending, and as soon as I get around to those, I'll forward the general info to the board. Finally, we have a report from Takashi regarding the Desktop Linux project as well as summary reports from some of the member projects. I would therefore like to use this opportunity to thank all who have made a special effort to provide this info and at the same time I would like to urge everyone who hasn't done so already, to please forward your summaries for our upcoming newsletter.
