I have taken it upon myself to file articles of incorporation for a non-profit company for the Plano .NET Users Group.  I guess I didn't realize what I got myself into because it seems that there is quite a bit of red tape that I have to cut through to get things right.   We are in Texas, so I have to first file our articles of incorporation with the Secretery of State.  However, it's not that easy.  Within the articles of incorporation I must provide specific verbage in the “Purpose” section that the IRS will look at for tax-exemption status.  Then, I must file for Tax Exemption status with the IRS with a proposed 2 year budget and information on all of our officers after I successfully file with the State.  Butt-Whip == true!
Last night I attended a presentation to the South Central Region Developer Guidance Council on Service-Oriented Architecture by David Chappell.  I found the presentation to be very informative and an eye-opener on issues related to enterprise-level issues regarding SOA.   Mr. Chappell is one of the best presenters that I have seen speak on technical issues.  He seems to have a very well-rounded perspective on Microsoft as well as non-Microsoft technologies.  If you have the chance to see him speak then I highly recommend attending...you won't be disappointed.
