<div>I agree that syndicating our events on the site
isn't really an issue. I'm fine with that. As long
as, if we ask them not to (for example, if there's a
governance issue or other concern later on), they
will stop.<br>
<br>
For joining, contributing, and being part of the
organization itself, that's where I'd have more
questions/concerns about the organization structure.</div>
<div>Who owns the non-profit, how to ensure any funds
aren't misappropriated, who makes decisions,
ensuring transparency, etc.</div>
<div>For now it doesn't sound like we need to get into
this, so no need to push too hard.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I did notice the job postings are gone, but
there's a donate button now that goes right to
Andre. <br>
Going to hope that things get set up properly with
the non-profit so everything is above board.<br>
