Hi guys,

I think this is an awesome thing you're doing here. I saw a reddit post about this a while back but just saw another and thought I'd chime in. I'm a student in Iowa who is studying Computer Engineering but also help run our local space society on campus and also run the group on the national level (you may have heard of us, we're called SEDS) and we do happen to now be a 501c3, so I have some experience with that. I'd love to help out in any way I can when I have the time (that's the bigger problem), but am very adept at doing stuff via twitter, facebook, reddit, digg, drupal, wordpress, etc online.

It will be interesting to see where this project goes!

Thank you very much for your support, it is wonderful to have you here.

I hadn't heard of SEDS before, but you look like a great group. I think students interested in space will be a great source of participants for our projects – students in engineering, science and mathematics combine the technical know how spaceflight requires with the energy and idealism that a radically new approach like an open source space agency will require.

If you have experience with forming and running a 501(c)(3) you could be an incredible help to us. We have lost a little bit of momentum with our 501(c)(3) efforts, for a variet of reasons, but I for one am very keen to see us take real steps in that direction. If you have the time, I would love (and I'm sure some others would too) to pick your brains on various 501(c)(3) related issues.

Starting a new TA job next week, might be busy for a while! Main CLLARE workgroups: Mission Planning, Navigation and Guidance. I do maths, physics, C, Python and Java.

Sure. I'm by no means an expert in 501c3 matters, but I'd be happy to share what I now know.
