Without emotions, there's a lot of association related to opensource/linux with a legal status in Switzerland why we should add/create another one? and for who? It's always the same members on this ML. Actually we're recognized by Ubuntu as an official community but I inform you as Myriam inform us before [1] that we'll have a Re-approval (you can read more at [2]) and without activities there's no more any official Swiss community. Just have a look when was the last report [3] > Please note some explanations: > > - there is some money gathered through SwissRemix activities which > belong to the community (>300 CHF) > - in case we decide to continue the work for another SwissRemix, it > looks as if we have to handle any upcoming activities by ourselves, > including fundraising and financials.

Until know, we have almost all the time received a free conference rooms from "Puzzle itc", "Dock18", "EPFL" and "ZHdK" and others. But yeah, for this point a legal status can be a 'possibility' if we're more than 5 (the same people talking on this ML) > - there is a real chance of acquiring more funds in order to support > activities by the swiss loco team (I wish we had access to a lot of > merchandising stuff ...) We don't need any legal status to receive gifts. Everything should be with Myriam or another member of this community. Normally Myriam ask for all merchandise when locos are informed. > - we might decide to organize a larger event 'open for the public' > (Release Party, other) in autumn 2011 which would demand sufficient > base > and clear responsibilities. Of course, if it's not only on the Swiss-German part, we can call it a larger event ;) and I'm open to discuss this point and to take responsibility. > - Canonical is about strengthening it's presence and activities in the > german speaking countries, there are new partnership models coming > along > and we have established contact with some representatives.

I hope that I can join this event (working day) otherwise you or any person who want to discuss is welcome to my flat in Biel or I can also join u somewhere else during the week-end to discuss this point.
