Just for the record, I don't agree yet with pursuing c3 status. I |
| 7 |
would prefer c6 status since that seems to be a better representation |
| 8 |
of what we are as an organization. It seems like quite a stretch to |
| 9 |
call c3 a charitable organization, even if other groups are getting |
| 10 |
away with blurring the lines. I don't personally think that tax |
| 11 |
deductibility will cause the money to start rolling in, and if that |
| 12 |
isn't the point, then why not stick with c6? |

Even if c3 would result in more donations, my humble opinion is that |
| 15 |
we've done pretty well developing Gentoo on short funds. We've had a |
| 16 |
few donations of money and equipment that have helped us to develop |
| 17 |
the meager but workable infrastructure that we have. (Kudos to the |
| 18 |
infra team for keeping things working!) |
