Just to clarify, any French non-profit association can receive donation (in the sense of "manual donation" which means money given by hand and transfer), whatever its size is, so GNOME-FR could receive donation. We have to see if this is feasible and how, because there could be some legal problems: - is there some limits to the amount of money. - Are we authorized to give the money back to the foundation ? - … We already had several issue due to the location of the Foundation in the past, like the tee-shirt design contest back on November 2010 [1] which excluded inhabitants of some countries due to the embargo decided by the U.S.A. It's perhaps the right time to think to have a legal representation in Europe (and perhaps on other continents).
