Currently we are in the process of setting up a eV legal entity (similar to KDE: http://ev.kde.org/) to manage the finances, voting, and membership.

An 'eV' for 'eingetragener Verein', in the German law, translates to a voluntary organization; a group of individuals who voluntarily enter into an agreement to form a body (or organization) to accomplish a purpose. The organization has members.

During FOSDEM 2008 in Brussels, Belgium, a group of founding members physically gathered to get the paperwork going.
