AFAIK you will need to have 5 to 7 founding members that participate  
in the first assembly and decide on the statutes. To get tax  
exemption it is generally encouraged to talk with the financial  
authorities before creating the foundation. I think the statutes will  
be pretty close to the one of KDE e.V. and we could check with GNOME  
Deutschland e.V. as well and post them for public review.

No idea, we might get some assistance from KDE e.V.
