The idea was to try and promote Puppy with the help of one of our members who was a marketing professional. We created a separate forum. We called ourselves the A team and basically realised we did not want to sell what we were giving away anyways . . . and also we did not want to be separate from the main forum. Some distros are marketed like a washing powder or have logos on T shirts etc and some are commercial - I believe for example Mepis has $135 million of Microssoft backing (or did I dream that)?
I do believe that getting Puppy into hardware is a good idea. So I want to encourage Raffy who is doing research in this area - in Singapore and the far East . . .
So here are some initial ideas:
Puppy Foundation
1. Goals?
Promotion of Puppy
Creation of hardware based Puppy
Development of Puppy in other languages
Development of Puppy for emerging economies
Preparation of Puppy for Cell processor
Support for Puplets (Puppy unleashed versions)
2. Nomination of officers - that is
You can not nominate a person who is not interested in being in a post and the names can be changed
Chairperson
Secretary (places notes on Wiki and here - arranges meets, also is the contactee)
Registered members (Forum Puppys)
So the first part of the Foundation is some sort of structure and some sort of name . . . a list of candidates . . .
Let's see how we get on
