Hi Paul,
Thanks for your interest in helping out.
Things may have changed under the new Linux Foundation
corporate organization - but in the past, there was no
way to contribute monetarily to Open Printing projects,
because there was no Open Printing budget at all.
Perhaps you and I could talk on the phone sometime soon
about this topic?
My schedule is pretty flexible - I'm in the US Eastern
time zone - but I'm often out very late (e.g., 4am)
playing music, so early mornings aren't too good.
Cheers,
- Ira

Hi,
I saw Till's posting announcing that the OpenPrinting
Project was not accepted into the Google Summer of
Code 2007.

My company does not have significant monetary
resources to commit to the project at this time but it
can give a little bit of money on a quarterly basis.
My questions:
Is it easy for a commercial organization to contribute
to the OpenPrinting project where it is part of the
Linux Foundation?
Are their any guidelines available outlining the
methods for making a monetary contribution to
OpenPrinting?
Thanks.
Best Regards,
