What is the time and place for tomorrow?  

I need to go to Action Computers at 10am, but I can probably still make
the meeting too.

Elisabeth.

First, I want to make it clear that the Colorado Linux Users Group (CLUE) has 
no official charter.  We hold no status as Non-Profit Organization, nor do 
any members pay any dues.  We have no bank accounts and no money.  In fact, 
we rely solely on the generosity of our sponsors, such as Hall-Kinion, to 
provide a meeting location.  Other sponsors provide our door prizes.  In 
return, we list the sponsors on our web site (http://clue.denver.co.us).  The 
sponsors receive no other obvious benefits from their generous donations.

The simple goal of CLUE is this:  We love the Linux operating system.  We 
want to share and enjoy this technology with others.  Our monthly meetings 
and other activities allow us to advocate Linux.  Our admin members are 
volunteers who enjoy leading the meetings and wish to promote the Linux 
operating system.

The CLUE volunteer admins and I do not know exactly what you wish to provide 
to our group.  Our collective understanding of your ideas is vague.  I hoped 
that you would have clarified this in the memo that I requested in my 
previous email.

My personal understanding of your plan is this single sentence from your 
previous email:  "so, we will look to finding several sponsors for funding 
opportunities. the entire year long program, would support a guidebook for 
economic development initiatives on LINUX software resources."

One of the responsibilities of the CLUE volunteer admins is to protect the 
CLUE members from unnecessary solicitation.  This is part of our heritage as 
a group.  It is important that you provide to us clear information about your 
group, its goals, and the relevance to the CLUE membership at-large.  Without 
a clear explanation from you in writing, it is impossible for the CLUE 
volunteer admins to evaluate whether your plans are truly helpful to the CLUE 
members or are unnecessary solicitation.

To alleviate our concern, we would appreciate if you would explain your ideas 
clearly, so that your efforts are not in vain.  We would appreciate your 
explanation in a short, 1-2 page document that contains the following 
information:

+ Summary of the proposal (what, why, how)
+ The benefits to CLUE.
+ The costs ($) to CLUE.
+ Overview of the 20/20 Foresight Foundation for Economic Development.

Finally, we would appreciate the document as soon as possible, rather than in 
60-90 days as you suggested.  

Thank you.

Sincerely,
Jeffery Cann
CLUE President
