If you need help with this, I've heard a lot of developers exclaim that |
11 |
they would gladly pitch in for the NFP filing. Maybe a paypal donation |
12 |
marathon specifically for the creation of the NFP. After the NFP is |
13 |
created, money is something that is going to need to be handled very |
14 |
openly and kept very much accountable. A public record of moneys coming |
15 |
in (through the store, donations, etc) and going out (hardware, PR |
16 |
events, etc) should be kept and updated on a daily basis. Good records |
17 |
will also help come tax time. Maybe a treasurer position on the board |
18 |
for this purpose? |

Can you clarify the purpose of this a bit more? As I understand it |
28 |
above, the Gentoo Store remains your personal business, seperate from |
29 |
the Gentoo Foundation. I would think that the Gentoo Foundation would |
30 |
need the store for future funding. I could be misunderstanding this, if |
31 |
I am please say so. |

Cheers, Daniel! Thanks for jumping on this! So far I'm liking it. |
