We could discuss the crowdfunding status. (Kate, please take no offense, the idea is good, the texts are but the issue of financing is causing concern to me.) Here is what I thought as a solution and I thought of becoming more attached to the "Free Software Foundation" and that we introduce policies to have everything as free software, including the system-kernel with no binary blobs. The reason why I am addressing this issue is that I have the impression that there are only a handful of distributions endorsed by the Free Software Foundation and contributors will know that we are 100% commited not just to "open source" but to "100% free software". In there regular field there are strong competitors like Ubuntu and Mageia but with the "100% Free Software" approach we could really differentiate ourselves and have less competition. Trisquel (a distribution based on Ubuntu) seems to receive a lot of regular donations from free software afficionados.
