Hi Jan,
the problem is that we hardly can promote Fedora and it's core values if
we don't save three questions of
1. money,
2. liability and
3. earnings.
The money problem can be solved with credit cards, the two other
problems cannot. The require a legal entity.

Such as? What could be more important then solving some of the root
problems that our community is suffering from?
We had these problems in the past and as a result we founded the Fedora
EMEA e.V. It enabled Fedora to have a strong presence. Now the NPO is
closed down and we are back to the same old problems: Organizing events
has become difficult. If I didn't issue Red Hat a free credit of roughly
2700 EUR there wouldn't have been any Fedora presence Berlin or Vienna.
If you have a solution to the problems of liability and earnings without
a legal entity, I'd like to hear it, but please don't call the NPO a
'dead horse' if you don't.
Kind regards,
Christoph
