I propose we create a constitution for ourselves and define membership and responsibilities.

Also we can use Swathanthra Malayalam Computing (http://smc.org.in) as a legal custodian of our assets similar to how SPI handles assets and financial transactions for debian project.

Update (09/02/2017): We need to revisit this thread now and finish this task of defining a structure.

1. Each sub team like poddery.com maintainers or git.fosscommunity.in should be able to take technical decisions independently. We can have them like special teams in debian (FTP masters, release team etc).
2. We can create email accounts for official members
3. Any time contribution to Free Software should be enough to get a membership (be it coding, design, support, publicity etc)
4. Their contribution should be vouched by existing members (we can have initial members from this loomio group/riot group/mailing list).
5. This structure can help us make official statements with everyone given a fair opportunity to comment.
6. Ownership of assets like domains could be given to legal entities like SMC. Just like debian, we can have multiple organizations as trusted organizations to keep assets. We can ask other groups like DFF, SFLC, DAKF etc

Basically we need ensure we can sustain these services even if the current maintainers become inactive (I want to make myself redundant).

Further reading:

1. https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/DPL/TrustedOrganizationCriteria has criteria debian uses to select trusted organizations.

2. https://wiki.debian.org/Teams/Auditor/Organizations has list of organizations trusted by debian.

3. https://www.debian.org/devel/constitution#item-9 is the section about trusted organizations.

Update (10/02/2017):

Preamble:

1. Free Software Community of India is a collective of Free Software (sometimes also called as Open Source Software) users, advocates and developers.
2. We maintain communication and collaboration infrastructure for everyone that respects their freedom and privacy.
3. We depend on donations and community manpower to run the infrastructure.
4. We maintain a list of Free Software communities and offer sub domains of fsug.in or fosscommunity.in
5. We mentor Free Software enthusiasts to become Free Software contributors.
6. We provide GNU/Linux installation and configuration support via online messaging groups.
