I don't want to start a thorough discussion about our policies - these are just my ad-hoc feelings: - we don't touch anything that requires legal/formal bodies (GSoC was fine because it accepted individuals) - if someone does the work and wins some kind of contest/grant, the money is his and he can do with it anything he wants (for example pay some developer privately to handle some Lily issue). >> I get the sense in a way that the precedent has already been set - if >> someone sees a cool opportunity (GSoC, LoMuS, whatever), email the list to >> call dibs if dibs must be called, make sure no one is opposed, apply, and do >> something fair with the money if money is to be gotten.

I get $5000 (of which i'll spend quite a lot on Lily development, either directly or indirectly), and John Marchesi, GNU admin, gets $500 and gives it to whomever he decides - in our case most probably FSF. cheers, Janek _______________________________________________ lilypond-devel mailing list lilypond-devel@gnu.org https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-devel
