Organizing LUAU as a non-profit corporation can really open the doors to more
opportunity for our LTSP for schools endeavor. I have stumbled across the
articles of incorportation from Research Triangle's linux group . Most
interesting is their organizational structure of a steering committee. I
like this. It seems to be the design that insures the infinite democratic
existence of the group. I wonder if this would work for LUAU?

They schedule monthly meetings. I like this. Wayne just suggested the same
thing. I have seen many attempts to do this by others. Perhaps we should
just set a schedule and do it year in and year out. Same with installfests.
It would be great to have them on a predictable schedule.
As we affirm the values of the list and determine what netiquette we would
like to see all of us follow, this is a good time to think about the group's
structure. Warren is rather amazing in doing so much, but, he is just one
person. I assume that his ability to grow personally and professionally will
mean allowing projects like this to evolve more or less on their own.
I had mentioned before that I would take care of the incorporation steps.
Warren has mentioned them in the new linux business mailing list. I propose
that we incorporate (non-profit) under the name of LUAU. The articles that
trilug used are a good starting point for addressing the handling of assets.
I also like the idea of a steering committee. Be it now or later, it seems
like a good idea.
