Hi again,
I think storming to the front without any goal or idea settled is the
wrong approach, although I like the initiative.
The question we should ask ourselves, looking from my perspective,
is, what we can do in the near future without having to establish any
form of legal entity. Where lie the needs of the Free Software
Movement in Canada? Would it maybe be best to coordinate some kind of
public discussion to figure out what needs to be done?
As far as I understand there is only a small amount of people on this
mailinglist, but I am sure there is many more people that are
interested and we need to get those involved as well. So I think what
we on this mailinglist should focus on is a Canadian summit of Free
Software Activists, Organisations already dealing with Free Software
and anyone who wants to discuss the possibility, to build a strong
community as a basis for a future foundation or organisation of any
kind.
Maybe a FSF-Canada is not needed as such, but instead an organisation
that focuses on building relationships between the users and the
businesses using Free Software or maybe a lobby group is needed to
reach the government itself. These are questions that need to be
answered before we get into writing a charta.
