[Gnash-dev] FSF directed donations / committee

[Sandro Santilli]

As some of you may know already, the FSF started a directed donations
initiative to allow donors to choose where they'd like their donations
to go. One of these channels is the High Priority Free Sofware Projects.

Given OpenMediaNow can't act anymore as a sponsor I think it would
be helpful to have access to the FSF donations.

What the FSF asked for, while discussing this privately with Rob, was
the creation of a committee of a few developers to act as representatives
for the whole development community. 

So, what would you think about defining such committee ? Who would like
to be part of it ? An example document describing purpose and proceeding
methods of a "Project Steering Committee" can be found here:

Personally, I think such a committee, with well defined decision making
process rules, would not only help dealing with the FSF but also make it
easier to take decisions.
