I disagree. Yes, we can help with foundings for ASF, but please do this
on ASF Level. Founding money is not the task of a ASF project, It's the
task for the foundation.
The Foundation is made by its projects, so OpenOffice should definitely
help with fundraising. Consider that OpenOffice (downloads excluded!)
generates as much web traffic as all the other Apache projects put
together, or something reasonably close to that. Also, the OpenOffice
infrastructure requirements (buildbots, management) generates additional
expenses for the Foundation that only benefit the OpenOffice project.
In short: if OpenOffice can use its web traffic and popularity to drive
more donations to the Foundation, it will surely directly benefit from
most of them. So I agree with Juergen that we should solicit donations.

Andrea.
