I haven't been following that either. I am not certain it is settled.
I have the sense that this is not about small donations.
I should also say that "earmarked" is the actual term I've seen, not
"on-account," although that is probably not a material differenc

Not so unlikely. Targeted donations are among the
the San Diego
City College Robotics team can spend.
If Apache only manages funds on a whole foundation basis, I will
probably never add ASF to my donation list.

Apache OpenOffice does not receive donations and does not manage a budget.

Unfortunately this community hasnt been very vocal about budgeting and is
very lurky to know if we have any funds at all at the end of the day, we
used to have very clear reports:

so might it help with buildbot costs?

It has been possible for a while. Apache accepts Bitcoins donations. See

To the Apache fundraisers: a user (see below for context) reported a
problem with PayPal donations to the Apache Software Foundation account,
used for Apache OpenOffice donations.
Indeed the button at

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

The PPMC went through this some time ago, because there were OO.o-specific
donation mechanisms that had to be either retired or redirected to ASF
donations. (There is a small-donation place for ASF donations. I used it once
to see how it worked.)
