[talk-ph] Greetings

[andre at enthropia.com]

Hi,

I'd like to introduce myself to the list, my name is Andre Marcelo-Tanner,
Filipino and resident of the Philippines. I am also from the company
Enthropia Inc., of which Ahmed Farooq heads, I head up the Philippine
division of the company here in everything that we do locally. Ahmed's the
one who's more familiar with OSM though :) 

I'd like to add in regards to the topic of creating an organization, the
fees are not much for a non-profit if we are not a foundation since its
just the registration fees etc. I would like to ask though if OSM
Philippines would like to be setup as a foundation, which is mainly to
accept donations and use them for the mission of the company, usually
charitable. The minimum deposit for a foundation is now at P1,000,000
apprently where it only used to be P100,000 before. I'm still inquiring
into the various technical differences between a foundation and other
nonprofit types.

Anyway that's all for now, I really like what OSM Philippines has been
doing and hope we can grow it even more.

Best Regards,

Andre
