Re: companies in the community (Re: Some questions about asimplecomputer.com?)

Hi Bernhard,

I think I'll have the first draft of the basic idea of the project by next week. 
Carl and Stu will help me with the first draft.

The procedure I want to follow is:

a.- Show the first draft to the board. Since one of the goals is to get funds, I 
want them to check it in advance. It makes no sense to work on sometjhing like 
this if the board do not totally support it.

b.- After that, I would like the board to suggest me if the promo team is the 
right place to coordinate the iniciative or it is the KDE eV, since economic 
support for KDE is something that the foundation has been taking care of, along 
with the corporate relations.

Nobody has told me to do this. It is a personal iniciative. I'll just make a 
proposal. It is not any kind of official one. To me, the board is the one that 
will end up making or supporting a kind of "official proposal".

So right now there is no place where you can read or comment anything. I don't 
even have anything to present yet. I'm working on it, literally.
