| 14:55:16 | nhv: | just like 'seven' to post a contoversial msg to the list and not be here ...... :- ) |
| 14:59:45 | nhv: | controversial |
| 15:13:57 | crschmidt: | Is OSGeo an IRS-approved non-profit organization yet? |
| 15:15:32 | nhv: | good question |
| 15:19:30 | wildint: | last I heard paperwork is held up in the IRS |
| 15:19:58 | wildint: | I haven't seen any statements about correspondence from the IRS on the topic |
| 15:21:16 | crschmidt: | That's what I thought. |
| 15:21:50 | : | * crschmidt doesn't have a problem with OSGeo handling copyright, but thinks that someone has to step up to do legal legwork to help projects make it happen |
| 15:22:04 | crschmidt: | Frank has been managing contributions to GDAL for the past 10 years without it being in OSGeo's hands. |
| 15:22:26 | crschmidt: | Changing all that because seven thinks it's a good idea seems unlikely :p |
| 15:25:36 | wildint: | crschmidt, are you on the board now? |
| 15:26:50 | : | * crschmidt is. |
| 15:29:00 | wildint: | I would appreciate if you could push to finish the IRS paperwork ( at least keep it on the agenda until we get the 501 status ) |
| 15:29:34 | wildint: | and by paperwork I mean whatever it takes to get the IRS to give us 501 status |
| 15:30:01 | nhv: | ++ |
| 15:30:21 | : | * crschmidt nods. |
| 15:30:25 | crschmidt: | I think that's reasonable. |
| 15:31:40 | wildint: | thanks - I'll see if I can get more details out of Tyler when he visits in a few days and remind about the importance of it |
| 19:07:19 | spatialguru: | wildintellect: the 501c3 stuff is in IRC hands and I owe them another phone call |
| 19:07:37 | spatialguru: | actually talked with the legal/rep guy there a couple weeks back and he said things |
| 19:07:50 | spatialguru: | were slow do to lack of staffing and apologised.. |
| 19:07:57 | spatialguru: | but said more in a couple weeks. |
| 19:08:01 | spatialguru: | so.. about time again. |
| 19:08:14 | spatialguru: | trust me, it's on high on my agenda : ) |
| 19:12:00 | spatialguru: | gar.. network at my end is horrible tonight |
