Hello,
This is mostly an administrivia email to keep the community in the loop.
The actual details are horribly boring. :-)

As you might know, PulseAudio participated in the Google Summer of Code
this year, for which the mentors are paid USD 500 each. The mentors
decided to pool in this money to spend on project-related expenses such
as conference travel and hardware as needed in the future.

The standard procedure for holding this money in an open source project
is to find an umbrella not-for-profit organisation that can hold the
money for you.

After some discussion and looking at the options available, we
approached the GNOME Foundation who have kindly agreed to be our fiscal
sponsor.

Do note that this is purely a matter of financial administration. The
technical direction of PulseAudio will continue to be desktop-agnostic
as it has been. The two are not related.

Regards,
Arun
