[Gambas-user] Gambas fundation ?

[Henri Girard]

Yes it's of public interest... This kind of law can hidde any maffia
ideologie...
Gambas is not a maffia interest ... so it's able to do it...
this kind of association is very easy to mount...
That's why it can be dangerous...
Very often we hear of scandal... the last was with cancer !!!! a fundation
of no-profit !!!!
kind regards
Henri

If it is this old 'Loi 1901'.
Everybody, even NON-French and none living in France, can be member, by
getting a member-card.
 ( this was so till 1991 (till this time  I ran one with friends in
Ariége)).

How to get a member-card, depents of the association.

But I'm not shure that a project like gambas will have a chance, to
become  'public interests' whats the base of 'loi 1901'.
But times changes and why shouldn't do that 'public interests'.

After if you have a  association, with a minimum off three
administrative members (it is possible with two) .
For administration, the same statue as for members,   NON-French and
none living in France is possible.

But you must have once a year a administative- meeting and a meeting
with all members of the association (must be inventied and not all there).

At this time, the administrative-election is usual.

But you also can aske for help at http://www.gnuhh.org/ President of the
