Four additional points related to fundraising...

1) Since Mav did not have the financial reports yet, we have not been 
able to define how much we had left. This should be fixed by monday 
hopefully.

2) Since we got no clearly defined feedback from the developers about 
what to purchase and when, we could not discuss technical needs. We 
still need some feedback on the topic. Matters are complicated by the 
on-going setting up of hosting and donation deals.

3) The french organisation now have a valid bank account

4) I suggest we find some new and original fundraising methods. A recent 
fundraising was very efficient to raise 28000 dollars on a goal of 
50000. Unfortunately, the paypal account appear to have been blocked 
before the account was blocked. Still.... I guess it shows people have 
money :-) See  http://www.savetoby.com/
