[OSGeo-Board] Re: [VisCom] RE: [OSGeo-Board] RE: [Fundraising] OSGeo "Donate" Buttons

[Tyler Mitchell]

I agree with Frank... we should hold off on doing any sort of  
'official' status around donations through a paypal button.  I do,  
however, think we could have a general donate now button that is not  
tied to membership or official receipts, etc.  ... until the  
membership process in finalised.
