that reminds me - one of the approved use of proceeds is to establish or

So maybe something like a scholorship fund?
perhaps CLUG could put some $ towards sponsoring an open source developer ...
favour local developers[1] and perhaps leave it up to tier 2 members to
decide what project / developer to throw funds at?
This would be interesting. I know that the casino can be a large source
of funds. Many non-profits use it to fund a substantial amount of their
operating budget. I know of at least two groups that get in excess of
$30k per year from the casino. I have no idea how the rules work as to
how much a group can get, but funding a local open source developer
sounds like a great idea. Especially if the work that developer does can
benefit a local need / niche.
