Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] OI Foundation

2021-05-26 Thread Gerard Arthus
I leave where to spend the funds if any to the developers who have more
experience. What has to be decided first is who will put their names 'in
the hat'. I can create an entity with one or two people but I think at
least 3-4 or more  would be a better number to start with. at least one or
two should really have deeper Solaris experience. I understand some coding,
but I am more of a systems person. I think if there is to be a future for
Solaris there will have to be some type of organization behind us. Similar
to FREEBSD I think.

Best wishes,
Gerry

Re: [OpenIndiana-discuss] OI Foundation

2021-05-26 Thread Gerard Arthus
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.

[OpenIndiana-discuss] OI Foundation

2021-05-26 Thread Gerard Arthus
I have been using Solaris since 1999 and was always impressed with its
stability. If there is interest in putting together a Foundation or
organization for Open Indiana, I will take care of all of the legal aspects
concerning its establishment; however there will have to be other
interested people willing to place their names on the governing body of
such an organization.  Anyone interested should contact me through this
list or you can use my personal email. The tax deductible aspect is what
can actually attract funding and this can be accomplished with a little
work. I would much prefer an organization where the people running it are
volunteers and all proceeds will go   to the maintenance of the OI codebase
and related software applications.

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

Best wishes,

Gerry
