AFAIK the requirements to start an organization in France are not 100% the
same than in Switzerland. They will probably want to set up an "association
loi 1901", and it seems this type of organization needs to be declared to
the authorities if it plans to shuffle money around. This would be quite a
fundamental difference with the debian.ch organization.
What I want to say is that we probably won't be able to share much of our
swiss bylaws (in a copy-paste sense). They can merely take inspiration from
them, for which an english version should be sufficient.
We can also provide them with a loose french translation, if they don't
want to wait until a formal english translation is available (I can take
care of this translation if requested).
Cheers,
Marc
