The only thing I've done is to interact with companies willing to donate
hardware/bandwidth/colo space in return for ad space or sponsorship mention
on gentoo.org.  More active fund raising had been frowned upon in the past.

I'm happy to do more fundraising in the future.  Before we can start this,
however, we need a few things:

* A bank account.  First and foremost.  Daniel -- what is the status of the
  NFP paperwork?  Can I get a physical copy faxed to me at 212-428-9113 so
  I can use it to open a bank account for us?
* A paypal account.  Need a bank account first, I believe.  (you can send
  money via paypal w/out a bank account.  Don't think you can receive
  money, though.)
