donations are a source of income, knowing newest technologies and the related cost in the payment area would be something I d consider quite important. Of course asaf has a point noting that the invitation mail does not make clear the relation of Michael with mazzuma nor what Michael finds cool with it.  besides the spammy style :-)

As a general question to asaf, the wmf even put their office into San Francisco to breath startup air. How do you transport startup and innovation air coming out of this? Getting to know persons, new technologies more or less affecting the wikimedia mission?
