We (or more likely, the Board) should establish clearly how this OE
income stream should work.

Do we (the OE members) WANT to have the LF provide a well defined
reasonable income stream to OE? Then RP or I can trigger that
conversation with Jim Zemlin, Exec Director of the LF.

Or do we PREFER to solicit independent donations to avoid the perception
of being dependent on LF? In that case please talk to DaveS or me about
an Intel donation to OE.

Are there other embeddedd events that we want a presence at?
The Yocto Project has so far tracked the LF events for obvious reasons
(and ELC / ELC-E are now LF events as well), but is there anything else
out there that would make sense to have a presence at?
