Apparently the funded project is separate from Debian itself, and therefore has its own funding mechanism. One thing OSG lacks is any kind of organized body that would manage the funds.
I imagine there are several legal instruments available in the US that we could use to create an organization, such as a not for profit company or some kind of trust fund. Anyone with more experience in this than me, please feel free to expand on the possibilities. Maybe all we need is a simple signed member agreement from anyone who wishes to contribute. -Paul > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] > [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of > Chris Hanson > Sent: Wednesday, September 20, 2006 10:43 AM > To: osg users > Subject: [osg-users] OSG funding > > I thought I'd start a new thread to discuss project > funding, apart from just the book. > Funding for development, funding for "overhead" like website > maint and the like. > > Debian has recently tried something interesting: > > http://www.computerworld.com.au/index.php/id;1964607233;pp;2;f > p;16;fpid;0 > http://www.dunc-tank.org/about.html > > I haven't read enough details to understand _how_ they are > doing this, but it sounds like they have the same goal in > mind as we do. > > -- > Chris 'Xenon' Hanson aka Eric Hammil | > http://www.3DNature.com/ eric at logrus > "I set the wheels in motion, turn up all the machines, > activate the programs, > and run behind the scenes.
