Hi, I would like to see 'Libre Graphics Something' where something is Foundation, Group, Association, International, League, Consortium, Party, etc. I like: #1 Libre Graphics Group #2 Libre Graphics International #3 League of Libre Graphics I don't think anyofthese as .org domains in full is too long, as Ricardo said. However, lg.o is surely attractive. If the current registrant is up for selling it, I could be willing to stump (err english slang, I mean, donate up-front) the $2000ish to buy the <a href="http://libregraphics.org">libregraphics.org</a> domain on the condition that within say 3 years the same amount be directed to some libre font project I would propose. I did mention oneclickorgs as a way to be our own independent org without too much overheads, but actually that seems too heavy. Better to go to an existing organisation to handle the legal/bank stuff, guarantee long term stability and fully ethical/legitimate handling of money. I believe the SFLC Conservancy is the best way to do that. I suggest people unfamilar with it read their website. While the classical GNOME/KDE rivalry seems cool these days, as Boud says, probably best to avoid stirring it anyways and not use either's org. What's the legal/org status of 'free desktop'? That would be my next preference. 3rd pref is SPI, who also offers this 'subsidiary' or 'trading name' approach that the SFC offers. Above all, using a surrogate org to handle administrivia means we can focus on productive tasks like engaging professionals and institutions. I've worked with the USA TeX Users Group to do this for funding the Open Font Library. Worked well: An existing fiscal org with a proven past and future adds a lot of legitimacy and safety for donors. I hope someone can explain the status of <a href="http://freedesktop.org">freedesktop.org</a>.
