directions for the new society/trust/?
by Ramdas S Oct. 26, 2009

Oct. 26, 2009

Dear all, Since we are very close to forming a society to run Pycon India and hopefully promote Python and Pythonic activities, it’s important to form an agenda clarifying the exact plans for the society. Here are some questions which I have and would like to seek opinion of everyone in the group, which should give some directions into future. 1) Should the society be only run to manage funds and organize of Pycon India, and similar conferences? 2) If not, what are the other activities which the society must involve? 3) More specifically, what are the other activities a society can get involved, other than organizing Pycon? 4) What should be the legal relationship with PSF? Should we have only an informal relationship or a legal relationship (like a chapter of PSF)? 5) Should this be a society or a trust? 6) What all can the new society do to encourage Python based development in the country? Thanks -- Ramdas S +91 9342 583 065

Society vs. trust
by Noufal Ibrahim Oct. 26, 2009

Oct. 26, 2009

Now I see why people don't like law/lawyers. :) Is there a document somewhere describing the pros and cons of a trust vs. society? >From what I've gleaned from the conversations here, a society is more transparent and would work better for our purposes but a trust is quicker and simpler. Is there anything else I should be aware of? The lawyer himself recommends a trust since it's easier to setup up and run. -- ~noufal http://nibrahim.net.in

Legal body formation
by Noufal Ibrahim Oct. 23, 2009

Oct. 23, 2009

Hello everyone, Kunal and I spoke to a lawyer recommended by Ramdas yesterday evening. Here's the scoop. 0. We're registering a society rather than a trust which will be an India wide thing. 1. We need 8 to 10 people here with address proofs to be on the board of the society. 2. We need an official address for the society so if there's anyone here who's got a permanent address in B'lore (eg. an office or something), it'd be nice if we can use that. 3. The lawyer will send me the boilerplate constitution which I will forward here so that we can review it and then send it back to him. He will also send me the approx. cost of doing this today. We need to close on items 1 and 2 and communicate that back to the lawyers. Thanks. -- ~noufal http://nibrahim.net.in

Follow up email

Hello everyone, I sent out a follow up email to the conference but I'm not sure if it reached everyone. Kenneth had changed the HTTP server on the site and because of that some URLs are broken. I'm not sure if the email reached everyone. IF you did receive something like that, please holler. Thanks -- ~noufal http://nibrahim.net.in
