@Paul <div><br></div><div>One of the reasons this was formed is primarily because not everything can be done without formalities... I&#39;m talking beyond the software dev group... People are busy trying to figure out how to engage with KNEC. You can&#39;t do that as an individual... You just need to get the organizational structure right. Open source projects are many times tagged to foundations/non-profits of some sort... </div>

I belonged to a few myself. They were democratic bodies where we agreed on where we wanted to go and goals to get there. Then each person chose their functionality and stated their commitment. Some were more committed than others and that was understood because of the agreed commonality of purpose.<br>




<br>I think this structure would work best and create freedom and growth. What do you think, Phares?<div><div></div><div><br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Wed, Mar 2, 2011 at 9:11 AM, Paul Kevin <span dir="ltr">&lt;<a href="mailto:paultitude@gmail.com" target="_blank">paultitude@gmail.com</a>&gt;</span> wrote:<br>
