so far donations to the TDE project have always ended up to Tim.
Although he is the founder of the project, he has not really been
involved in the daily matters and development for several years.
In the past there has been talks to establish a non-profit TDE
organization, but this has yet to happen.
With release R14.1.0 coming soon, I would like to propose for donations
to be temporarily redirected to Slavek, till the TDE non profit
organization is established. Once the organization comes to birth, the
amount of donations can be transferred over to it.
A transparent public account of donations could be setup, so everyone
would be free to see how donations would be used.
If Slavek needed to pay additional taxes due to the temporary donation
income, I suggest those would be paid out of the donations themselves.
What is your opinion? There is about a month before R14.1.0 is released,
so it would probably leave just enough time to prepare the new setup.
Consult an attorney or paralegal experienced with free/libre software
and non-profit organizations. Somebody at FSF, SFC, or Document
Foundation should be able to provide a lead to a qualified person or at
least an attorney-reviewed check list for creating an NPO.
