Hi, The subject no one wants to have to deal with - money.
Early on there was talk about forming a legal entity in the US to promote LibreOffice - I was asked to not pursue that discussion and in the mailing list I said it would be best to table the discussion. IMO the time to pick it up from the table is upon us. A quick review of the mailing lists and I would say there is maybe 14 active folks from the US - not a lot, but enough. Quite simply, there is no reason from anything I can see to expect any real funding coming from TDF. Which begs the question - Where from then? I would ask those on the list here to review the site http://ooodev.org and ask questions about it if need be - what I propose is the formation of a _similar_ organization in the US, or I should say, to be precise, that it is a good point to see if this fits in with the desires of others and if so, to begin discussing how to make it happen. Comments?
