Hey,

Florian talked with Martin 'Joey' Schulze one of board members of the  
FFIS[1] and it might be possible to get an associated project with  
this organisation.

Pros:
	-It is a european based non-protfit organization.
	-It is similiar to Software in the public interest
	-It has the tax-exemption status

Cons/Unknown:
	There are a couple of things we need to ask before asking to get an  
associated project:
		-If people want to give money to OE and use FFIS, how much will be  
given to OE?
		-What can we do with assets?
		-What will happen if we want/need to leave. Can we take donations  
with us?
		-Can U.S. based people use SPI to give us money?

I think if we get a positive answer we should go the ffis route.

	z.
