• Paying for organization and staff at annual OpenOffice.org
Conference,
OOoCon.
• Marketing banners, collateral, CDs and brochures.
Clearly there ought to be changes to the page and process when/if the
podling
happens. This is probably at the ASF Board level... certainly the
"hiring
developers" part doesn't fit...
Well ... that's an interesting question. While hiring could happen
outside
of the ASF, AFAIK there is nothing to stop us from accepting funds and
having a group (analogous to our Travel Assistance process) that offered
payment, a la Google Code or other.
I do agree that I'd like to see the Board and Membership weigh in on that
discussion if/when it ever becomes one.
Presumably it would also be possible to have a group outside ASF called eg
Friends of Open Office ( FOO) that raised money and put it to code
development or marketing or whatever. Not saying that is the best way just
its a possibility.
Doesn't one of those already exist?
S.
I think your referring to Friends of OpenDocument INC, based out of
Queensland Australia. See http://www.friendsofopendocument.com/newsite/ .
