<div dir="ltr">Hi, Tobias.<div><br></div><div>Despite our efforts over the last few years, we have so far been unable to get an American umbrella organization. For this reason and for simplicity's sake, it is my preference that we direct all funds through K8 at this time. This does not come with the benefit of 501(c)3 deductibility, but we can at least legally accept the money.</div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Tue, Feb 19, 2019 at 3:42 AM Tobias Ellinghaus <<a href="mailto:houz@gmx.de">houz@gmx.de</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex">Hello list,<br>
<br>
today I'd like to start a (quick) discussion about sponsoring LGM.<br>
<br>
- In the past we had Pledgie campaigns. Do we want to give that another try? <br>
AFAIK we never managed to get all the money we asked for, but even if it's <br>
just a little we have more than without asking.<br>
<br>
- We were approached by a potential sponsor (OpenSUSE) who asked about details <br>
about how to sponsor LGM. In the past we had a page on the website dedicated <br>
to that [0], we should probably have that again. We need to decide though in <br>
what shape or form.<br>
<br>
I'd be happy if we could come to a decision in a timely manner as there are <br>
people waiting to give us money. :-)<br>
<br>
