Reviewing the ULSF experiment, May to July

[John Pritchard]

The original idea for ULSF has been the classic internet group owned by the group, whoever that is and according to volunteer efforts.  The membership is primarily people having active domain logins. 

The objective of the group is to promote and do open source space flight.  One assumes that we have all the communication necessary to define our projects, and that we're each pointed in a fairly optimal direction for our local constraints and shared interests.

It's my impression that the commercial open source business (http://docs.google.com/View?id=dd5vs7ct_14g65bk77s) may be the first best way to develop the objective.  Of course I'm thinking in terms of my Sagittarius project, which may or may not be right.

Right now the only expenses for ULSF are domain registration and the maintenance of our adwords campaign. 

The internet poses the question, how can this improve our lives.  And therefore ULSF poses the question, how can open source space flight be an example of internet society.  And then, is ULSF an example of that.

So perhaps the best thing ULSF can do is the open marketplace.
