[smc-discuss] Fwd: Amended: SPI resolution 2013-06-30.jmd.1: Swathanthra Malayalam Computing as an associated project

[Anivar Aravind]

Dear all,

We are now officially listed as one of the "Associated Projects" (
http://www.spi-inc.org/projects/) of Software in Public Interest Inc, a
501 (c) (3) US non profit. Without the help of SPI and, guidance of some of
the individuals who make up the organization, it would have been difficult
to navigate through the payment/administrative bits of Google Summer of
Code.Board of SPI resolved following resolution unanimously.  A special
thanks to Jonathan McDowell who initiated the quick email voting resolution
to keep in pace with GSoC payment schedule.

Computing as an associated project
To: spi-general at lists.spi-inc.org, spi-board at lists.spi-inc.iorg



This is an amended version of the resolution presented for the July 11th
AGM; I have altered paragraph 1 to include reference to the SMC mission
statement and some examples of how this ties in with the purposes listed
in article 2 of our by-laws.

We're on a tight deadline if SMC are to be able to use us to handle
their GSoC funds (Josh has indicated he needs to know within the next
week). If you have an objection to the resolution below please suggest
updated text that would alleviate your concerns.

I'm presenting this for an email vote by the board (which requires
unanimous approval).

WHEREAS

1. Swathanthra Malayalam Computing is a substantial and significant Free
   Software project, engaged in the development, localization,
   standardization and popularization of various Free and Open Source
   Softwares in Malayalam language. This aligns with SPI's stated purposes
   such as "support, encourage and promote the creation and development of
   software available to the general public", "endeavor to monitor and
   improve the quality of currently existing publicly available software"
   and "foster, promote and increase access to software systems available
   to the general public"

2. The Swathanthra Malayalam Computing developers would like SPI's support
   and assistance, including taking donations.

THE SPI BOARD RESOLVES THAT

3. Swathanthra Malayalam Computing is formally invited to become an SPI
   Associated Project, according to the SPI Framework for Associated
   Projects, SPI Resolution
   1998-11-16.iwj.1-amended-2004-08-10.iwj.1, a copy of which can be found
   at http://www.spi-inc.org/corporate/resolutions/2004/2004-08-10.iwj.1/

4. Anivar Aravind is recognised by SPI as the liaison to SPI for Swathanthra
   Malayalam Computing and is responsible in the first instance for
   communicating the wishes of Swathanthra Malayalam Computing to SPI. In
   the event of the need for a replacement Santhosh Thottingal and/or
Praveen
   Arimbrathodiyill will act as backups.

5. This invitation will lapse, if not accepted, 60 days after it is
   approved by the SPI Board.

J.
