This resolution was adopted by the Board of Directors of SPI at their meeting of November 11, 2024.

Resolution 2024-11-11.js.1: Rigs of Rods as an associated project

WHEREAS

  1. Rigs of Rods is a substantial and significant free/libre open source software project providing a vehicle simulator that uses soft-body physics to simulate the motion, destruction, and deformation of vehicles.

  2. The Rigs of Rods project would like SPI's support and assistance, including accepting donations, holding funds, paying for project expenses, holding substantial and intangible assets, signing contracts, accounting, auditing, and legal assistance.

THE SPI BOARD RESOLVES THAT

  1. Rigs of Rods 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 https://www.spi-inc.org/corporate/resolutions/2004/2004-08-10.iwj.1/

  2. Rafael Galvan is recognised by SPI as the authoritative decision maker and SPI Liaison for Rigs of Rods. Successors will be appointed by the project leader.

  3. If the last known SPI Liaison for Rigs of Rods is unreachable and no new SPI Liaison is appointed for two consecutive years, the associated project is deemed defunct.

  4. In such a circumstance, the SPI Board will, in its good-faith discretion, proceed as follows: the Board will identify one or more other SPI associated projects or 501(c)(3) charities which can accept the project's assets and use them for a similar purpose, and transfer the assets to the identified destination or destinations as feasible. Assets for which no such transfer can be arranged within a reasonable time will become part of the SPI general fund.

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