In particular, the ASF has a [email protected] team and VP who work on fundraising for all projects; individual projects do not specifically solicit for funds (other than to link to the ASF Sponsorship page, etc.)."
"I would urge the PPMC to start a separate thread dealing with the contributing.oo.o page, the relationship with SPI, and any other fundraising matters." "Get a description of any pre-existing ways that funds might have come into the project in the recent past, figure out a proposed plan for what the PPMC would like to do in the future, and then work with fundraising@ (a privately archived list) to move forward." As suggested I'm starting a new thread. As a start can anyone post here any ways that they know OOo generated funds and if possible the main contact details of those leading that project. Team OOo is the one I think most people are familiar with but what about any others? -- Ian Ofqual Accredited IT Qualifications (The Schools ITQ) www.theINGOTs.org +44 (0)1827 305940 The Learning Machine Limited, Reg Office, 36 Ashby Road, Tamworth, Staffordshire, B79 8AQ.
