The only thing I've done is to interact with companies willing to donate |
| 11 |
hardware/bandwidth/colo space in return for ad space or sponsorship mention |
| 12 |
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, |
| 15 |
however, we need a few things: |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
* A bank account. First and foremost. Daniel -- what is the status of the |
| 18 |
NFP paperwork? Can I get a physical copy faxed to me at 212-428-9113 so |
| 19 |
I can use it to open a bank account for us? |
| 20 |
* A paypal account. Need a bank account first, I believe. (you can send |
| 21 |
money via paypal w/out a bank account. Don't think you can receive |
| 22 |
money, though.) |
