That's a good idea, thank you!
The Agnula project is going through a similar process
of formal
registration, and I've suggested to Andrea Glorioso that we work
together on this to reduce duplicated bureaucratic overhead,
since the aims of both entities are very similar.
Just to be precise: it's not AGNULA that is going to be formally
registered anywhere. What we (I, some past members of the former
AGNULA Consortium, other volunteers) are going to do is create a
separate entity which will have, amongst its "social goals", the
promotion of Free Software in the audio/video domain. Of course, the
AGNULA project will probably be one of the main beneficiaries of this
entity, at least in the start; but the idea is that we should be able
to fund and/or help any other group or person we deem valuable and
works with/for Free Software in the audio/video domain.
If AGNULA disappears and/or becomes clearly obsoleted with regards to
other (similar) projects, then we want this entity to be able to
continue its existence.
As per avoid duplication I'd agree - the main problem I see in this
moment is the different stance the Linuxaudio.org consortium and the
wannabe "agnulesque" entity seem to have with regards to Free vs
proprietary Software.
