Originally Alasdair indicated that he wanted OI to be part of the illumos foundation, so this approach of earmarking the donation makes sense.
Note that in the future I hope that illumos will reserve a percentage of earmark donations for its "general fund" but since we have not set up the administration to deal with that yet, it seems like right now is a great time to donate and ensure that 100% of your donation goes exactly to OI. - Garrett On Sep 5, 2012, at 8:08 PM, Jonathan Adams <t12nsloo...@gmail.com> wrote: > On 5 September 2012 16:47, Deirdre Straughan > <deirdre.straug...@joyent.com> wrote: > <snip> > > I know that it's really none of my business, since I have yet to > actually give anything except support/bugs to the community ... > > I think that the money being placed with the Illumos Foundation, with > potential ring-fencing for OI is a sane idea. > >> ....
