My experiences are that canonical is not the fastes company on earth. So what should a loco, for examle ubuntu-fr and ubuntu-de, do if they need some money in a few daies to buy a new server for the websites?(see www.ubuntu-eu.org) In the paste there was no time to wait that the money can transfered from france/germany to the uk and then back. By the way tranfering money from on country to an other cost a lot of fees. An other point is that Canonical is a company. And I think you can´ t make a donation from one company to an other. The Ubuntu foundation is more a trust, and the foundation is not yet active. So the fundation can´ t help I guess. From the view of the german locoteam I can say there is no other way then having a community controlled and driven organisation for handling money. just my 0.02€ julius
