10 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?

23 | Robbins & Gentoo Technologies, Inc. perpetual, non-exclusive, royalty-free
24 | use of the "Gentoo" trademark and "G" logo. This will allow me to continue
25 | to run the Gentoo Store if I want.

27 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.

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