Ok, Just a quick Info mail before everybody gets attached to things.
In the Maintainer call the founding of a Foundation/ or Rather
Association has been discussed quite a bit. And it's in fact a process
that was started once but not with a high priority. Thus far getting in
Volunteers has been a higher priority rather than Organising cash or
governance.
I get the benefits of a Foundation and a central spot to look at in
Governance, but thus far we are one core developer (Andreas Wacknitz)
and supporting maintainers. I love the initiative and Engagement that
people bring here. And it's needed. But we don't need an official
Signoff space yet. If people are willing to invest into development, we
are not holding you guys back. But please be aware who you are and how
much you have to do with the OI and in fact illumos brand and if another
name is not more appropriate for an outside initiated initiative. ;)
Greetings

We can roll illumos into the foundation; we can keep the books ourselves,
just have to pay a cpa to sign off on it if that is desired. I would do the
tax preparation myself unless a large amount of money was involved. I would
only do this if the finances were completely transparent and everything was
posted on the Internet. The main point here should be to use donations
strictly for development and not sucking administrative cost which is quite
common in the nonprofit world.

We can get this going with at least 3-4 individuals; if there is
interest I
can start putting something together.
This is definitely a great idea.
