Information about creating a European non-profit organisation for PostgreSQL in Italy

Hi guys,

I have finally obtained the required information about the foundation of
an European non-profit organisation for PostgreSQL in Italy. It is feasible.

Apart from the constitution costs (which are minimal), the fixed costs
are the ones for accounting (funds gathering, donations, sponsorships,
etc.). They can be around 1500-2000 euro, but they vary depending on the
activity (and the workload of the professional accountants).

The organisation can therefore collect money and invest it, by
distributing money or products (gadgets, posters, flyers, etc.) to the local
groups. This prevents local organisations from creating a formal
organisation. I believe this is a great achievement.

Please let me know if you want me to go any further.

Briefly, we should discuss the constitution act (although we can use the
Italian one as a base, we can commission a professional translator to work
on it and provide us with an English version) and those people who are
interested in the foundation should step forward.

The Italian one will be valid from a jurisdictional point of view,
whereas the English one (and lcoalised versions too) would be good for
transparency issues.

Ciao,
Gabriele
