Thanks Jon, it's a very fair proposition.
I'm just the little guy who started to speak in french about Openmoko
one year ago [1] (with Bearstech's help), one of these end-users you're
talking about.
But I really want to support the Openmoko initiative because I hardly
believe in open this hardware revolution.

As I told previously [2], I think an open "umbrella" foundation can be a
good option.
Why not Linux International ?
Before legal works, the community needs organization to be as efficient
as possible with its ressources.
(I'm sure there's a lot of people like me who really want to help but
know what should they do first)

Now I hope that key people of the worldwide community will join this
opinion
... and let's go !
