So yes it makes sense for openSUSE to have its own bank account and openSUSE already has the power to do this without needing to ask SUSE.
Interesting, how so?
Well we can create an account but we can't make SUSE put money in it,
Who is this "we" you talk about? You and?
The openSUSE board acting as the people responsible for the projects finances.
Are you seriously suggesting that you want to propose to handle openSUSE donation on a private bank account of yours? I hope not :-)
rather then wanting to move all our trademarks / Intellectual Property away from SUSE, currently they are doing a good job looking after that.
We don't have trademarks. SUSE has trademarks. Because there is no "we".
The board has been through this before, maybe it would make sense to invite some of the old board members to your discussions so we don't have to go through this again and again? :-)
We have a Richard who has been on the board for quite some time
I'm sure Richard has done his best to convey second hand what has happened, but as usual that is a lossy process.
The board has decided that if you or any previous board member would like to share your experiences with us on this topic you are more then welcome to join the first part of our next meeting
Gracious! ;-) When would that be?
so we are not looking at those and are instead looking at some other possible alternatives.
Like? :-)
As Richard stated in his email, likely partnering with an existing foundation that provides services such as accepting / helping to manage money for open source projects.
Proving my point even from above even further, we have looked into SPI and some other umbrella orgs back then and talked to various people who where involved with them (back then) :-) There where some serious concerns about ownership of (physical) assets if I remember correctly. Maybe this changed. Have you reached out to friends of projects that are currently with SPI?
