[Fsfe-uk] Pricing, form and schedule

[MJ Ray]

Hi,

I had a small round-table discussion about AFFS at ALUG today, full details
of which will be posted to their list and web site at some stage, but the
key ideas were:-

 - About ten pounds pa is a very good price point.  People are happy to see
it as a near-gift at that and would scale it up if they saw benefits.  Of
course, we should invite more and offer discounts to students (and
jobseekers?), but as a headline figure, that looks like it will get mass
appeal.

 - No-one cares much if company membership is missing at first.

 - Clubs are generally forming as ltds or not forming.  There have been many
rule changes making IPSes harder to form and more restricted.  Rules need to
be carefully drafted, but a legal type knowing the field may have something
suitable already prepared.  (No, this was in private discussions, not the
round table.  Oh well.  So sue me.)

 - We should start taking memberships by early in the new year at the very
latest, if at all possible.

 - We should fund some localised and localisation projects ourselves with
the money we get.

So, comments?
