Hi, Greg: Sounds good to me.

1] One year project: start a nonprofit recording studio

What goals are you interested in accomplishing in one year?

2] To be a nonprofit organization and receive donations, you will want
to be incorporated, but do not expect the process to be completed before
your first year is done. If, however, you have one or more goals that
lend themselves to being conducted as projects under the aegis of Open
Studios, we should be able to move forward without problems.

3] Gentoo is fine, and live performances are great! Check out
www.archive.org for examples of what others are doing.

We'll use the list as our discussion board, and this will give you, and
others a good case study to follow over the coming months. All
questions, ideas, etc., can be discussed and answers can be sought out
for you.

Looking forward to learning more about your project.
