[$] An openSUSE foundation proposal
Over the past couple of months, things have been moving fairly swiftly
toward the establishment of a separate entity to govern the openSUSE
project. The idea is mainly meant to set up an organization that can
receive and disburse funds on behalf of the project, rather than as some
kind of move away from its parent company, SUSE. Also, while SUSE seems to
be in a healthy position with a strong interest in supporting and working
on openSUSE, that could change down the road, so a foundation or similar
organization seems like the right way to go. At this point, the first
draft of the foundation proposal has been posted; it generally has the
support of SUSE management, so it is time to see what thoughts the
community has.
