Dear Moosers, as you might remember, the founding of Moose Verein was postponed at Famoosr due to missing bylaws. The purpose of the association is to support Moose and Famix, eg by organizing a Summer of Code. We plan to found the Moose Verein at ESUG in Lugano, see doodle http://www.doodle.ch/q88eyauxxriwe5ue I have setup a wiki page with draft bylaws, taken from the nice booklet "Wie gründe und leite ich einen Verein?" by Urs Scherrer. See link below http://smallwiki.unibe.ch/moose/association/ The bylaws are in German. It would be nice if someone could translate them to English. The English bylaws will not be legally binding, they are only meant as support for foreign-speaking members. The google translation looks 90% correct, hence the translation job would mainly be to fix mistakes like "photograph request" for "Aufnahmegesuch". http://translate.google.com/translate?u=http%3A%2F% 2Fsmallwiki.unibe.ch%2Fmoose%2Fassociation%2F&langpair=de%7Cen&hl=en @Orla, you said that you might volunteer for translation, is that still okay with you? Please stay tuned for more news, and forward this mail to anyone in your network that might have an interest in the Moose association. cheers, AA -- Adrian Kuhn MSc Software Composition Group http://www.iam.unibe.ch/~akuhn http://www.iam.unibe.ch/~akuhn/news.xml
