in some form. Overlapping membership, staff, interests, etc. |

I agree 100%. My logic is cherry pick what we like from each. Thus ideas |
| 12 |
from Gnome Foundation ( paid business bull$hit "advisory" members ), |
| 13 |
some from BSD Foundation ( dev travel grants, equipment/infra funding ), |
| 14 |
and some from Debian ( Debconf ) |

| 20 |
donations. Non tangible goods and services that still have a value. |

Definitely if we receive them on a re-occurring basis. Even more so if |
| 22 |
other companies are using that as write off as a charitable expenses. |
| 23 |
IRS will want to compare what they are deducting is showing up on the |
| 24 |
other end. :) |
