We're very excited about joining SFC. The main goal we hope to get from this is the ability to manage our finances for Racket in a tax-exempt manner in the US, as well as to make it easy to contribute financially to the health of the Racket project. How Racket is developed and maintained won't change in other ways because of joining SFC. We aren't transferring any copyrights on Racket's source code.
We're happy to answer any questions about this process, either privately or on the list, and of course you're welcome to email SFC with questions as well, as Deb mentions.
