I just came across this thread. Many years ago I had the idea to setup an european "sage foundation" similar to the one of R. My main thoughts where that this gives european users a way to organize us over here, while the UW parent foundation works well for the US. The R foundation [1] is situated in Vienna, Austria (incidentally where I live :-) and it's absolutely not not a bureaucratic hassle to set up a nonprofit organization like that over here. The real challenge is to find a couple of people who stick together and run it (a dedicated core team). Going with NumFocus sounds like a good idea, but it's also an US entity. -- harald [1] https://www.r-project.org/foundation/ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "sage-devel" group.
