                                PRESENTATION

                            What is Linux Fund?

                                     by

              Randal L. Schwartz             David Mandel
           <merlyn at stonehenge.com>      <dmandel at LinuxFund.org>


        A discussion of the administrative side of running
        an Open Source organization - legal standing, non-profit
        status, taxes and fees, accepting donations,
        international issues, etc.
        We will also discuss ways Open Source "Foundations"
        like Linux Fund, Apache Software Foundation,
        The Software Conservancy, The Free Software Foundation,
        The Open Source Geospatial Foundation, and others
        are helping particular projects minimize the overhead
        of running their own non-profit.
        A lot of the discussion will center on Linux Fund since
        both presenters are from Linux Fund and ways to become
        involved with Linux Fund.
