The thing has started.
David Lyon is currently finding out costs to set up a non-profit organization in Germany.
In the meantime I suggest that we draw a list of active supporters, to:
1) Finance the registration costs.
2) Be available to be 'member of the board', or to hold some of the official positions required by the law.
3) Be available to carry on administrative duties.
I don't know the German law. In Italy a non-profit has very low registration costs and very light administrative duties, but a number of persons which take responsibility is required.
We already have Michael's Van Canneyt available to act as a liaison between the foundation and core developers, as 'member of the board' or whatever.
Whoever is available for any of the points above, or others points which may pop up once David has dig out all information, should post an answer, stating so.
For some functions being German or UE based could be necessary/advisable, but this again we'll know from David.
Useless to say that, being the one who's re-triggered the matter, I'm available for whatever is necessary.
