Overview
++The SliTaz GNU/Linux is an international association based in +Switzerland and respects the Swiss Civil Code. The association is +comprised of a committee and members and it can have financial and +staff remuneration. Members meet once a year at a general meeting and +decide for example, the activities of the association or the membership +fees. Each member has a right to vote on individual proposals and can +use the hardware (inc. cdrom, T-shirts) of the association to help setup +a working group to organize events. +
++The project takes on the scale and demands of the +professional world more and more frequently and the creation of the +association is seen as a necessity. We chose an association economic +model to meet the needs of the project and provide a solid and high +quality service to our users and business partners who wish to sponser +the project. +
++A copy of the statutes is sent to each member upon registration and a +PDF version is always available online (only in French at the moment) : +status-asso-slitaz.pdf +
+ + +Current objectives
++SliTaz is a project using the open development model and all the +work is done by a community of volunteers. Our goal is to improve and +provide better organization of contributions. The project's +friendliness, support, update sites, maintenance services, technical +support and management teams are topics that we would like to +address and professionalize. +
++To achieve this, we would ideally like 1 or 2 developers +to work part-time or full-time on SliTaz. They would have +the responsibility to consolidate and optimize existing systems while +dealing with new demands. The various sub-projects would also be more +dynamic and would see new features published much more frequently. +
