Creating a Nonprofit!
Drupalcamp Colorado this summer was a rousing success. There were well over 100 registrants. We had two full days with sessions and quite a few BOFs. While a rag-tag bunch of do-o-crats did a great job putting the camp together, we found we needed more organization to make everything perfect. We wanted an easier time soliciting donations. We wanted ways to pursue grant monies. In short, we needed a nonprofit to help out. Who better but a bunch of Drupal-heads to know the needs for such a nonprofit?
Come join a discussion on the ins and outs of putting together a 501(c)3!

I'm so there
Just had a discussion on this topic today, we're looking at starting up a 501(c)3 for http://peer2peeruniversity.org
Just a quick FYI, I work with
Just a quick FYI, I work with a community wireless project (CUWiN) that is fiscally sponsored by a larger nonprofit (see places like Grassroots.org). You get a lot of the 501(c)3 benefits w/o having to deal with all the hoopla that is the government.
interesting topic
Would love to join in. You should also show for the Drupal* meetup organizers BoF session. Its not about setting up a non-profit but like minded organizers will be present so hopefully some ideas can be tossed around.
