[FreeGeek] impromptu irc-chat on the idea of Boards

[agent humble]

I think the subject of this message is a bit of a red herring. As I said 
previously co-ops also have boards and what we are really talking about is 
the operating structure we want FreeGeek to have. Having something called a 
board is an unavoidable legal requirement if we're actually going to manage a 
15,000ft warehouse and operate a storefront. It's up to us how we craft the 
articles of incorporation (ie. bylaws) that will govern how we operate.  

Just so people know why this IRC server?... I have trouble connecting to IRC 
servers that use the standard 6667 port because of the Tor node I run at 
home. Indymedia IRC will let you connect using SSL at port 994.

If you have no idea what I'm talking about and have never used IRC before you 
can still get in on the action by using Indymedia's web-based interface to 
IRC. It's at http://chat.indymedia.org. Just be sure to give yourself a 
unique 'nickname' and specify the name of the 'extra channel' as Ifny 
specified below - #FGHQ. For 'software' leave the default on the Java unless 
you are having troubles connecting - then choose the other (HTML - CGI).

Hope to see you there later tonight.
