The Gentoo Foundation is boring. This isn't a problem that needs to |
| 12 |
be solved. We're pretty efficient money-wise, which means that |
| 13 |
despite almost no effort going into fundraising and our legal |
| 14 |
obligations, we're still able to pay our bills and stay under the |
| 15 |
radar of regulators who could shut us down at any time. |

When you only need a few thousand dollars a year to keep a global |
| 18 |
organization operating that is a GOOD thing. Let's focus on making |
| 19 |
that stronger. If our legal obligations are all caught up and we have |
| 20 |
5 years of operating funds in the bank, maybe then we can start |
| 21 |
thinking about spending more money. |
