it would remove a source of income for GNOME — granted: we're not making a massive profit out of it; we could (should?) increase the administrative fee, if that allowed us to hire another part-time assistant to handle the issue. it would also dilute our position of leadership in outreach. creating a foundation is not an easy task; people would have to show up and handle the administrative load, as well as the financial one. ciao, Emmanuele. -- http://www.bassi.io [@] ebassi [@gmail.com] _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
