idea of a openmoko-community-foundation

[Vinzenz Hersche]

hello all,

i had just a little idea of a little foundation for the developers on 
openmoko.

i think, there are lot of peobles who could use the sw which is written from 
less peobles. so the idea is to make donations on a account and the peobles, 
who spend it, could say, as example, if radek needs a new bluetooth-headset:
yes, we spend it from the account.
or if the openmoko from dos1 is crashing (on hardware-site), "yeah, we pay the 
reperature".

may i'm wrong, but as i know, these peobles work fully for free. so i think, 
it would be ok to spend them the hardware at least which they need to develop. 
because we could have a profit on the better software!

i think, we could coordinate this over the www and look for a fair system.

just one problem: does someone know how we could make the account so, that no 
one could take all the money and go aways?

would someone help, to build something up? i think, if 20 peobles spend 10 
dollars in a month, it would help for much things (and this isn't so much, i 
think).

greets
