I started looking around at the OOo website. I'm not sure if now is the time to bring this up, but at http://contributing.openoffice.org/donate.html there is a solicitation for funds via three processes.
Here's what the page says: > Your donation will go directly towards helping this project. Some of the ways > in which your funds might be used include: > • Hiring independent developers to work with OpenOffice.org. > • Paying for participation at trade shows and conferences. > • Paying for organization and staff at annual OpenOffice.org > Conference, OOoCon. > • Marketing banners, collateral, CDs and brochures. > Please discuss the tax benefits of donating with your accountant. > You can make a donation to our primary treasury, Team OpenOffice.org, e.V. > via PayPal or credit card or use bank transfer. > Or, if you prefer to donate US dolars (USD) via credit card, cheque or money > order, you can use use Software In the Public Interest, Inc. (SPI), and > simply identify the recipient project, OpenOffice.org, where indicataed in > the instructions SPI provides: SPI Donations for OpenOffice.org . (SPI does > not accept PayPal or wire transfers.) > Clearly there ought to be changes to the page and process when/if the podling happens. This is probably at the ASF Board level... certainly the "hiring developers" part doesn't fit...
