So between sponsoring cons, travel, hardware, etc... what can *only*
be done with Red Hat Cash? Is there anything that an individual
cannot say "I'll pay for that (and/or buy that) for you" ?
Absolutely. An individual or organization can say "We'll pay for
Joe's travel" or "We'll pay for lunch on Saturday" or
"We'll pay for
the internet connection" or a myriad of other things like that. They
just need to pay for those things directly -- they can't just hand
Fedora a pile of cash.
/me wonders if this sponsor-donate path needs more coordination and
publishing, maybe a "shopping list" approach. Let "donors" choose
one
or more items for a list-of-things-we'd-otherwise-need-cash-for and
just buy them (hardware) and/or pay for them (travel etc).
We've put together a prospectus for a couple of the FUDCon events to
do that very thing. Feel free to help us amplify that and make it
easier to find.
