Hi,
The reason I thought it would be useful to have guidelines, rules, organisation
is that SLP needs sponsorship to move forward. However, companies never sponsor
anything unless they can get something out of you, usu advertising. But want to
avoid a major PR fisaco if something goes wrong.
Therefore, if u present a united, organised and well thought out plan, u get the
$$$. If u turn up to be a bunch of free-wheeling amatuers, hackers, crackers,
warez kings etc, they avoid u like the plague. .Trust me, I work in a big MNC on
the other side of the table b4. Basically, we acted like a bunch of stingy
bastards and scrutinised anything like crazy. Hopefully, cyberway and compaq etc
grant us the equipment/bandwidth. But if we had something in the proposal to show
commitment, organisation and decidication, then it would make a stronger case.
yes yes...it is bureacratic, stifling, no creativity, as irritating as writing
your documentation, so government like......so agst the nature of 'hackers'. But
I just feel that working with The System is better than jumping up and down in
your corner and be ignored by everyone. Just my 2 cents.

PS : I believe we should have a elected leader or at least a close group of 2-3
pple as a council.
PPS : A mission statement would also be nice....how abt a no-prize contest on it?
