[cfarm-announces] Compile Farm is now an SPI, Inc. Associated Project

[CFarm Annoucements]

Hi!


We have some exciting news to share, as part of a broader effort
to improve the Farm at both administrative and technical levels.

Software in the Public Interest (SPI) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit
corporation registered in the state of New York founded to act
as a fiscal sponsor for organizations that develop open source
software and hardware [1].

Compile Farm has been accepted as an SPI Associated Project [2].

This does not bind Compile Farm to SPI in any way. It means that
SPI will accept donations, hold assets, and provide legal
assistance on our behalf. SPI can also sign contracts for us.

Fundraising is an important function of any major project, and
having the ability to do so transparently and legitimately means
we can more easily acquire new hardware, repair existing
hardware, and hire contractors should the need arise.

We're looking into similar arrangements with European charities.

There is more good news on the way; please stay tuned.


Zach
