You could just use a NGO outside of US. We used to have Fedora EMEA, and we have Borsalinux-fr. There is no need to have it done officially by the Fedora project or anything. And that's what was done for Mageia before the association got a legal entity, using another partner association in France as a proxy for money. I think Debian also do something similar for debconf, with SPI. -- Michael Scherer -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
