fwiw,
I'm filing papers (on a personal basis ) in Minnesota to do business as 'The Wine Project', and I've opened a personal account with the name 'The Wine Project', and I'm a few days away from having a Paypal button all ready to go to accept donations.

You can thank Tom for this; he's the one that harangued me into it <grin>.
And who said being a *pest* never pay's off ;)
I think I've mostly held up in the past because we didn't have anything to spend money on. However, Tom has pointed out that we can use the money to fund travel for a Wineconf 2003,
Yes! Now to be seriouse.. I think a yearly Wineconf is very important because it brings everyone together for a couple days and the developers of Wine can *discuss* future technology's. If you look over the last six months you will see that Wine has progressed at a very nice clip. I feel on a personal basis this is in part do to Winconf 2002. I don't know how the rest of you feel about this .. But I would like to change the name of the "Wine party fund" to the "Wine conference fund" the money in this fund would go toward travel/accomodations for developers. As there are at this time developers who are not employed by companies that use wine in commercial applications.
Dimi would be a good example here !!! This guy puts many hours of his life into *Wine* And as he has pointed out here on *THIS* list not for a single dime.............. why not pay him back a little by using some of this money on his travel or accomodations ? And this is only one example and im sure there are *many* others as well !!!
I should note that I was not present at Wineconf 2002 but I will be at 2003 at my expence and I will not ask or take any money from the wine (( conference)) fund.
So I would like to propose a vote to change the "party fund" to "conference fund".
Any objections ? If not I will be more than happy to send the patch :)
and this also sounds like a worthy cause.
We could also spend *some* of the money on docs if it comes down to it..... And im glad that none of the current "party" fund money had to go out on this as we stepped up to the cause and donated out of pocket for this.....
I will still give $50.00 more to the < ?? > = (( conference)) fund beside to this *DOC* fund anyone care to match me ?
Feedback, comments, flames more than welcome. lets hear them....... As Tony once told me " why be shy"
