[steering-discuss] Fwd: Fundraising events

Interesting question... already covered by our TM policy?

It's really hard to decide, honestly. On the one hand, if money is 
raised for TDF and LibO we should be able to assure it goes where it is 
supposed to be, on the other hand, the local organizations of course 
need to be able to raise donations as well.

Maybe the basic rule is that money donated to TDF and LibO goes to the 
Foundation itself, but exceptions can be granted in case we know an 
organization?

I see it from the standpoint of the organization as well as from TDF - 
in Germany, we have a similar problem. Lots of money comes in to our 
nonprofit, but if we pass on every single cent, the nonprofit itself 
will not sustain (some people donate for the events we do, or for DVDs 
we give them). That's why we set up a dedicated account and PayPal to 
know what was donated for which purpose.

Hi Guys,

Recently, a question arises between the Spanish community on the policy
to follow when performing LibreOffice events in each country and the
collection of funds, as funds are distributed? You can use the logo in
any type of material? pay as brochures, shirts, hats, pens and other
materials needed.

Greetings
