Re: [fab] Idea:T-Shirts at Fedora Events...

[Tim Burke <tburke redhat com>]

While this concept looks great on paper... a "reality factor" 
consideration comes to mind.  While I claim to know next-to-nothing on 
this topic authoritatively, I'm wondering.... remember we embarked down 
the road of making the Fedora Foundation a non-profit.  That turned out 
to be a colossal beaurocratic hastle.. so much so that we considered it 
more bother than its worth.  (Not just on the setup, but ongoing 
stuff).  My concern is whether there is legal/accounting Pandora's Box 
here in terms of taking in money of any form.  For example even if all 
the incoming money was either given to charity or into shirt costs... to 
the extent that the FF is RH, who would do all the accounting/legal 
required bookeeping/tax filing, etc...
