PR doesn't do any fundraising AFAIK. This is going to be one of the main |
| 2 |
purposes of the new board of trustees as Daniel has mentioned before. |

Makes sense to me, the more money, the more vote ;) |

In response to Corey - doesn't PR already fulfill the role of the |
| 34 |
fundraisers? Last I heard, they were the ones that contacted companies for |
| 35 |
funds, hardware, and other resources, contacted institutions for our server |
| 36 |
colos, and handled individual developer hardware requests. |
| 37 |
Perhaps we could add some manpower and direction (not sure if they need it |
| 38 |
though). Perhaps Swift and Klieber would be more qualified to comment. |
