My understanding of this is that this kind of thing would cost more in paperwork than the real benefit to the consortium, that is why i was contemplating creating a association in france to group several users which would, once we are able to sum up the 2000 euros, become one member of the consortium. I was aiming at a fee of around 50 Euros, this would need at least 40 members, or for some of them to donate more, or other means of raising founds. Sadly, i have not had time to fully devote myself to fullfiling this in the last month, but now that the subject has surfaced again on this list, it may be the right time for that. To create an "association loi 1901" here in strasbourg, we would need to define the status, and have at least 7 founding members, as well as people willing to take the administratives jobs like secretary and the financial aspect. It can happen relatively quickly once we have enough members. So, unless someone else would like to do the same, it would be nice if interrested people send me a mail about this, (personal mail at : luther@dpt-info.u-strasbg.fr), and once a first step of discution is reached, we will hold a founding meeting, either trough IRC or something such, or trough a mailing list i will create, the second solution would be maybeeasier on non european persons.
