Ask them. At this point, things for Orgcom doesn't look healthy.
I've got to believe that Jay is spending a good part of tonight formulating a response to the events on the list today. Lynn OHara is biting her teeth after Marco and Monjay took her to task for the archive not being yet open, and the BSD guy is scratching his head wondering how he's gotten into this.
Someone should probibly reach out to Marco and Ron Guerin and ask them if they want to help instead with Freedom-IT.
Freedom-IT already has a formal structure in that it is covered by the NYLXS charter, it is already trademarked, and fairly well funded.
For not completely up to speed on the Freedom-IT discussions, the design of Freedom-IT is 3 fold.
At the core, Freedom-IT is organized by participating qualified organizations nation wide. Each organization is to SPONSOR at least one corperation or business. In sponsoring the corperation, their booth will be labeled 'with support of XYZ. The Organization can build their booth without otherwise restriction and the company will be also allocated space for their use.
In addition to the .ORG sponsoring a corperation, the sponsored business also has to choose from one of a series of lectures to sponsor. These lectures can anything from kernel developement, desktop development and publishing, to running Linux on Mainframes.
Once everything is figured out, we are inviting students from across the nation for these top of the line programs. In addition, Corperations can send their personel to the programs for free. Other segments will be geared for the general public, school teachers, politicians, etc.
Org's invited must agree to emphasis Free Software in their booths, and not proprietary software systems. We'll have a contract between NYLXS and the participanting Orgs to assure this one matter. A committee for Freedom-IT, outside of the NYLXS infrastructure will be elected from the participants to oversee the nuts and bolts. This committee will be fully empowered to function and sign needed contracts to the show to work. Financial oversite will be done with the Freedom-IT committee and the NYLXS Treasurer. And seperate bank account will be segregaterd out for the purpose of the show. Any left over procedes will be retained, including interest for the next years show.
