Amended: SPI resolution 2013-06-30.jmd.1: Swathanthra Malayalam Computing as an associated project

This is an amended version of the resolution presented for the July 11th
AGM; I have altered paragraph 1 to include reference to the SMC mission
statement and some examples of how this ties in with the purposes listed
in article 2 of our by-laws.

We're on a tight deadline if SMC are to be able to use us to handle
their GSoC funds (Josh has indicated he needs to know within the next
week). If you have an objection to the resolution below please suggest
updated text that would alleviate your concerns.

I'm presenting this for an email vote by the board (which requires
unanimous approval).

WHEREAS

1. Swathanthra Malayalam Computing is a substantial and significant Free
Software project, engaged in the development, localization,
standardization and popularization of various Free and Open Source
Softwares in Malayalam language. This aligns with SPI's stated purposes
such as "support, encourage and promote the creation and development of
software available to the general public", "endeavor to monitor and
improve the quality of currently existing publicly available software"
and "foster, promote and increase access to software systems available
to the general public"

2. The Swathanthra Malayalam Computing developers would like SPI's support
and assistance, including taking donations.

THE SPI BOARD RESOLVES THAT

3. Swathanthra Malayalam Computing is formally invited to become an SPI
Associated Project, according to the SPI Framework for Associated
Projects, SPI Resolution
1998-11-16.iwj.1-amended-2004-08-10.iwj.1, a copy of which can be found
at http://www.spi-inc.org/corporate/resolutions/2004/2004-08-10.iwj.1/

4. Anivar Aravind is recognised by SPI as the liaison to SPI for Swathanthra
Malayalam Computing and is responsible in the first instance for
communicating the wishes of Swathanthra Malayalam Computing to SPI. In
the event of the need for a replacement Santhosh Thottingal and/or Praveen
Arimbrathodiyill will act as backups.

5. This invitation will lapse, if not accepted, 60 days after it is
approved by the SPI Board.
