So maybe it's time again to open up discussion about Foundation, but this time have it result in something more substancial than before. So because you asked about this I can say that the board has been discussed the idea of having a separate bank account / foundation since the last face to face (Note this is very different from financial independence for reasons I will outline below)
The reasoning for this is completely different and stems from well before any of us knew about SUSE's change of ownership (we all found that out yesterday as well). Last year we had an issue where Google was unable to sponsor openSUSE to send some of its people to a google summer of code event, this was because SUSE's budget was frozen so they could not accept the money then spend it.
Why was "SUSE's budget" "frozen"? In what way and by what means was it "frozen"?
We also have similar issues at times accepting monetary sponsorship for conferences etc. 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.
Are you sure that you have this right? <pruned> BC -- Diapers and politicians should be changed often; both for the same reason. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-project+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, email: opensuse-project+owner@opensuse.org
