<p>Hi all,</p>
<p>I got this in which is really really interesting to me in terms
of how small business that uses OpenSource can pay something back.</p>
<p>The link to Marta's FOSDEM talk is below which I greatly
enjoyed. This is something very close to my heart.</p>
<p>A topic for an upcoming LUG meeting perhaps?</p>
<p>Cheers,</p>
<p>Alex<br>

Hello all,<br>
I'm posting to this list, because more people might be interested.
I'm willing to make a donation from my company to OpenEmbedded (as
a part of an initiative I talk more at [1]). Companies need
invoices or other proofs for payments, as most of you know. I then
contacted the SPI treasurer to work out details. Nothing happened,
same after a follow-up message.<br>
<br>
This is a pity, because a company cannot make a donation in such
situation. It is also pushing to become a member of YP instead,
where 5k is quite a large sum for a really small company. I would
really prefer to give to OE. Whom can work this out?<br>
<br>
Kind regards,<br>
Marta<br>
