I too just made a personal donation. My wife was concerned about doing things in some unofficial manner, and I didn't want to argue. Additionally, I can't believe they didn't take this opportunity to support Bitcoin. I would have donated a lot more if they had. > Yeah, getting formally incorporated has its plusses and > minusses. Worth giving some consideration to from time to time. My understanding is that the idea is mainly to promote our group. There might be another easy way for MediaGoblin to identify people in our group to establish the size of our contribution without us having to go through the costs and efforts of getting incorporated. What if everyone had an @melbourne.softwarefreedom.com.au e-mail alias (or some other domain representing our group). Whenever we donate, we simply use that address in the contact field? This might be some middle-ground. If the list of donations is ever published with e-mail addresses, we will get much more visibility than a single line. Otherwise, it would be easy for us to ask all donations from that domain be grouped together without having to get approval from everyone. Don't like the idea that you may not personally get a mention? Just don't use that e-mail alias. Easy. Perhaps http://melbourne.softwarefreedom.com.au could be a page clearly stating that everyone with an e-mail address here consents to donations being grouped together in the name of Free Software Melbourne to avoid confusion of those we are donating to. -Adam
