No we don't need SPI. The ASF has its own fundraising infrastructure.
Thesis simply about ensuring money donated to SPI for OOo, before the move
to the ASF, is used as intended.

Hi

Sorry, but i have some doubts about SPI and AOO.

Do we need the SPI? ASF can't receive funds for AOO?

I remember that we started a discussion about a partnership between a
NGO here, in Brazil, and SPI to receive funds to other projects, and
had a conflict point in the SPI rules about the possibility of other
partners, from other entities, could see and interfere in our entity.

Someone saw this points?

Best,
Claudio

There is a PayPal account but I suspect that since this is a largish
sum it would make more sense to use a wire transfer. I'll mail the
appropriate list (fundraising@) and copy you in for the reply.

Thanks,
Ross

Thanks Ross,
I sent them a request for an update on the progress. Would you happen to
know the address or paypal account to which the funds should be sent?

On the ASF side silence is approval, on the SPI side I'd have expected a
response by now.

I haven't heard anything about this issue since I sent off the proposal a
month ago.  Is this a reasonable time period of silence or is it time to
nudge somebody again?
