I welcome any other<br>members of this list to join me in this offer.<br><br>FACIL is a non-profit based in Quebec province, doing advocacy for<br>free open source software - these days we primarily focus on the<br>government here in Quebec.<br><br>I am sitting on the board as VP and we have a few competent admin<br>resources, we have been reorganizing some of the hosting and content<br>managament resources succesfully. We recently
launched an internal<br>ticket system and have access to free hosting via Koumbit.org.<br><br>I also have access to other resources as a member of the Free Software<br>Foundation but I believe the OSM project wiki combined with FACIL's<br>guidance should be enough for anyone other contributors here to step<br>in and add the missing glue.<br><br>If nothing else, having FACIL own the domain and pay for it, and<br>parking it until a formal project takes place would be logical for now.<br><br>Going a bit further, I would at least redirect it to the OSM Canada<br>wiki page [1], but that is up to you.<br><br>Pending other discussions on this list, I am leaving that offer on the<br>table. I have no urgency in adding another project to the many things<br>I am involved in, but I can offer those resources now. I suppose some<br>consensus will happen here.<br><br>Cheers to all,<br><br>Fabian<br><br>- -- <br>Fabián Rodríguez<br><a href="http://fsf.magicfab.ca/"
