[Gaim-cabal] Welcome, Evan

[Sean E. <sea...@gm...>]

Evan wasn't in the cabal before. Now he is. A quick overview of the
current topics of discussion:

Name change - AOL has been threatening to sue us (well... Mark
Spencer, and then me) since as long as Gaim's existed for trademark
infringement. I have lawyers who have been representing Gaim's
interest against AOL. We have not yet decided to change our name, but
the lawyers recommend we come up with something just in case we are
required to. We have had an absolute terrible time doing this, and
we've been going back and forth for months. The only one we've
actually liked so far is "Grapevine," but the lawyers did some
research and decided it we couldn't use it. This morning, I suggested
"Cohort." Please tell me you have some ideas.

Oh, and we've decided libgaim will be renamed libpurple.

Corporation - the same lawyers have helped me set up a Delaware
corporation, the Instant Messaging Freedom Corporation, dedicated to
Gaim. We have a bank account, and money, and we will be filling for
tax-exempt status and all that jazz.

Summer of Code - Have any ideas? Wanna mentor for Gaim projects as well?
