A nit-pick - the LF is a trade association, not a non-profit/not-for-profit 
entity. Eben Moglen wrote about why this matters here: 
https://www.softwarefreedom.org/blog/2016/apr/11/lf/ 


In our case, I do believe that this makes the LF an even better candidate to 
invite to the advisory board.

Best,

Mirko.

The LF is a non-profit.

Do you know if the Linux Foundation was approached about sitting in the AB? If 
not, or if so and they didn't reply (instead of declining), do you want me to 
talk to them?

I'll be in Berlin next week for LinuxCon and could facilitate a discussion.

outdated...

Thanks, fixed.
I removed the link because I could not find a proper project website for LiMux, 
and just linking to the Munich website feels too generic.

We now have an Advisory Board

2016-09-27 Thread Thomas Pfeiffer 

Dear KDE,
in case you haven't read the Dot article [1] yet:
KDE now has an Advisory Board, consisting of KDE e.V.'s Patrons as well as 
organizations using our software on a large scale (currently LiMux) and other 
NGOs with visions/missions similar to ours. The list of members is on the 
Advisory Board page [2].


On our side we have a contact person for each organization on the AB in the 
Advisory Board Working Group [3].


We hope the Advisory Board will provide us insights into what the world needs 
from us as well as closer collaboration with our allies in general.


Cheers,
Thomas
