Well, it hasn't proposed any projects yet, no? What I had in mind is something along the lines of: "Ok, so Company XXX has a product that does A, B, and C. The goal of this project is to do A, B and C, and maybe do C a bit differently, by July next year." Then you could look for a sponsor that would possibly use the product later on, and you allow them exclusive access to WIP code, you give them access to bug tracker, pre-release code, etc, maybe a special exclusive non-GPL license for the code (the finished product is released under GPL, but company, say, keeps the right to close-source its modifications, etc). That way, you get access to money, and people who have an interest in keeping the project alive on longer term. It's a bit different than the classic investment. -- Branko Vukelić bg.bra...@gmail.com stu...@brankovukelic.com Check out my blog: http://www.brankovukelic.com/ Check out my portfolio: http://www.flickr.com/photos/foxbunny/ Registered Linux user #438078 (http://counter.li.org/) I hang out on identi.ca: http://identi.ca/foxbunny Gimp Brushmakers Guild http://bit.ly/gbg-group
