[kwlug disc.] FLOSS Fund update

[Paul Nijjar]

	I think we might be able to start making contributions to the fund
for January's meeting. I think I can secure a "fishbowl" (which will be an
old chocolate-powder tin), and Andrew and Adam are anxiously waiting for
people to give them money. The big barrier for me is figuring out how to
select one of the nominated projects. So far we have:

0. Drupal (nominated by Chris B on the mailing list -- put this on the
	website!)
1. The FSF (nominated by Chris B some time ago on the mailing list -- put
	this on the website! I am sure they take donations but I have not
	looked for the link yet.)
2. Trixbox.org (nominated by Unsolicited on the mailing list -- put this
	on the website!)
3. Open Source Labs (nominated by me)
4. The Public Patent Foundation (nominated by Richard. He doesn't state
	that they accept donations, but they have a PayPal link)
5. CLUE (nominated by Richard, but I can't see whether they accept
	donations or not)
6. openstreetmap.org (nominated by Richard. They appear to accept
	donations via PayPal:
	http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/index.php/OpenStreetMap:Site_support)


	So which project do we choose? How?

	We could choose this during the next meeting, but I would prefer
knowing the selection beforehand so we can announce it on the announce
list.
