Naming
SkullSpace Club Inc. is a good choice as it has the word club in it, which makes it easy to tell that this is a non-profit, non-charity corporation.
HOWEVER, if we ever want to sponsor talks or any other situations in which our official name is required, having something without Club in it, and with Winnipeg in it sounds better.
Something like
Winnipeg SkullSpace Ltd.
or
SkullSpace Winnipeg Inc.
Other official hackerspace names, for reference:
Calgary Protospace Ltd.
HackLab Toronto Club Inc.
Directors
We require at least three directors, and these three have volunteered:
- Ron
- Andrew
- Mak

Tax Receipts
In order to be able to issue tax receipts, we need to apply for charity status with the CRA by filling out CRA Form T2050. This must be done after we are already incorporated. I'm not sure if we qualify, and the paperwork involved is intimidating. Being able to issue tax receipts would be awesome, so I think this is worth looking into.
