Who Should Help LinuxFund Distribute $126,155.29?

Posted by Zonk on from the i-have-some-thoughts dept.

Roblimo writes "The LinuxFund Web site was down for several months, and the project has essentially been out of business since last year. But MBNA kept the LinuxFund MasterCard going, and kept depositing money in LinuxFund's account -- to the tune of $126,155.29 when NewsForge reporter Jay Lyman finally caught up with the current and former project leaders and found out what was going on -- namely nothing. So does anyone have an idea what to do with this money? Want to suggest an individual or group to take over LinuxFund and run it right?"

    Why would you want to help further saturate an already supersaturated field?

    Why would I want to help?

    You obviously don't know me very well.

    I could care less whether there are too many computer scientists. I am a geologist.

    Wow, nice attitude. But what else should I expect from someone who links to the Cato Institute? I guess geology goes hand in hand with the rocks in your head? Feldspar? Quartz? Basalt?

    Give it to the Gnome Project so they can buy a clue about how to write a proper GUI.
