Earlier this evening I was asked how I expected Fedora to function in any way similarly to how it does now without the backing of one or more organizations like Red Hat.
I gave the quick answer "through donations" since I was not in mood to give the detailed answers ( and taint that thread even further ) however I'm about do it here to certain extent since the questioner probably did not expect me to have actually given this any thought which I actually have although I have not chiselled it into stone, making it the concrete proposal the community demands since it's just a small fraction of a larger idea or rather vision I have but I have decide it be the correct time to share that part of that vision of mine with the rest of the community to gather feedback.
Under the current model I thought it is not possible to make monetary donations to Fedora (I remember Jared Smith saying something about this at a linuxconf.au a while back) Hardware, physical items, consumable media etc is OK though. Something to do with US taxes, correct me if I'm wrong.
Looks like we need to get the Fedora name out of the states
