I don't think we have any official position on it, but I can respond to various items that have been mentioned above in the thread:
1) Google Summer of Code - we (Cognitect) are again acting as a receiver of stipends and distributor of travel funds this year but would happily let another org do that instead. Cognitect currently provides free tickets for GSOC students to attend once conference in the year following their participation, and we would be happy to continue doing so. 2) clojure.org / documentation - we are very far along in the process of open sourcing the content on http://clojure.org. All of the content for the new version of the site is available at http://github.com/clojure/clojure-site and open for contributions via pull request. There are a bunch of issues there with things to do if you want to help. I am spending most of my time right now finalizing the staging/deployment/ci infrastructure for that and it is inching ever closer to being ready to go live as the real site. 3) CLAs, github, jira, confluence, hudson - Cognitect does not have plans to give up control of these sites. Community members have rights to access these sites already. I have spent a fair amount of time moving towards hosted cloud versions of some of these in the last couple months - the work involved is ... painful. Once clojure.org is live, I plan to put these back on priority list. 4) Conferences - Cognitect has no plans to give up the organization of the three Clojure conferences we run (Clojure/Conj, Clojure/West, and EuroClojure). Other people or organizations are of course welcome and encouraged to create their own events - we already have great ones like ClojureEx, clojureD, ClojuTre, Clojure Remote, etc. 5) Clojars - seems to have had a pretty successful time in seeking sponsors for their ongoing support, which is great! This is a community resource and I'm glad to see the community supporting it. 6) ClojureBridge - now has the ability to receive funds (go donate!) and manage things via the Bridge Foundry. Given all that, it's not clear to me what role a Clojure community organization would play. I think figuring out the goal is obviously the important part.
