My suggestion for the structure for now is as follows:
Skunworks should be incorporated as a not-for-profit organization whose main objective is the promotion of technology and whatever other objective members feel the organization should promote.
The group will comprise members who will contribute some amount of money; may be yearly as membership fees. With these we can confortable run the activities of the organization in terms of server space, bandwidth, and so on.
We will have a small board whose purpose is to give long term and strategic direction of the organization. The board will be appointed for an agreed upon term by the members and given clear mandate of what it is expect to do.
There will also be a secretatiat that will be charged with the day to day running of the activities of the organizaiton. These include; but are not limited to organizing events; managing and administering the servers; updating the profile of the organization on the web and various social media; organizing awards and ceremonies, communicating with other stakeholders and like minded groups and the promotion of the interests of the organization.
We will have a constituion and no one will really own the organization.
Those are my thoughs for now; others should say what they think.
