Arguably we ( as a community ) should be striving to become as
independent of Red Hat as possible so it strikes me as a bit odd that we
cant by some means fund the project either by donating ourselves or by
getting other corporate sponsorship.
I think it's inevitable that there will be conflicts of interest with
Red Hat and just to give you an recent example Red Hat has stated that
it is not willing to put effort or resources into a Fedora LTS distribution.
Which means for example we ( as an community ) might need to fund and
setup our own infrastructure to host an Fedora LTS release efforts for
the project and it kinda goes with out saying that we need a way to fund
such efforts.
On and on it should be sufficient for the project I suppose to have an
community wiki page wish list with donate link(s) for various stuff like
server hw,camera's to be used to record sessions at various events for
those community members that are unable to attend, even sponsor people
to attend for that matter or any other ideas/stuff that might need funding.
Somehow other distro's have manage to find a way to fund themselves
perhaps we can adopt some of their model and implement it either
officially or unofficially...
