We are currently in the advanced planning stages on developing an organization structure, and I was wondering if anybody out there involved in BUGs had done this before, and what sort of things were eventually necessary (IOW, charter? constitution? voting guidelines and membership eligibility? offices? non-profit status? etc). Any help would be greatly appreciated, and thanks in advance. =) -- Ryan Younce ryany@pobox.com http://www.pobox.com/~ryany/ "B can be thought of as C without types; more accurately, it is BCPL squeezed into 8K bytes of memory and filtered through Thompson's brain." --Dennis Ritchie, "The Development of the C Language", 1993 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
