Sorry for duplication guys, but I should have actually put the following under this subject:
As far as fund raising from the Kopimist Church, that's a hairy one! Granted, a little money could go a long way in boosting OpenNIC's strength & visibility. But few things affect people as much as money & religion. Both conjure up powerful & sometimes strange behavior.
Trying to hide or minimize this kind of funding would only add to conspiracy theories. It would have to be loud & clear that the two are not connected in any way. That little has ever been contemplated or presented to help fund OpenNIC, hence the reason for utilizing the Kopimist Church's assistance. We could even use it as a means of further financial support. If people felt strange about it, maybe they could put there money where there mouth is!
If this could be worked out to everyone's satisfaction, I think it would be the start of an important new day for OpenNIC. Possibly as big as the slow but wonderful increase of support by engineers across the globe, who have helped OpenNIC become the biggest open DNS project ever.

Subject: [opennic-discuss] The OpenNIC Fund
-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 The Kopimist Church of Idaho is willing to establish a fund for the OpenNIC Project which can be used for servers, marketing, or whatever the group decides. This would be a part of our missionary work to promote our values of free culture and an open internet. We are a registered US 501(c)3 nonprofit organization, which means that we could do fundraising and we wouldn't have to go through the $500+ process of getting OpenNIC itself registered as a 501(c)3. As I am sure that some donors might not like the idea of their donations going to support other Kopimist Church projects, so we would establish a fund that serves the OpenNIC Project directly. We could set you up with paypal buttons, bitcoin links, etc which can be used on the website and then we will have those funds earmarked for OpenNIC project stuff. To go along with the previous email on the website and marketing ourselves, I think that OpenNIC needs to do some campaigning and maybe even some advertising and stuff to market our services. Having funds to do that might help. Or maybe fund a couple of those IP addresses that Julian was talking about which would allow everyone to use the same 2 ip addresses and it would automatically assign them to the closest DNS server (like what Google does with 8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4). I know this might be controversial so I am just going to leave this here and let you decide what you want to do. - -- Respectfully, Travis McCrea International Coordinator, Pirate Party of Canada Chief Administrative Officer, Pirate Parties International http://travismccrea.com http://twitter.com/teamcoltra http://fb.me/teamcoltra 1(778)709-4859 Canada 1(206)552-8728 United States -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG/MacGPG2 v2.0.17 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iQEcBAEBAgAGBQJQveeKAAoJEES9cOv0A0l0wGwH/ibgzPq5xaFa+lx8PqoevmuX Zip4A/nRXZ1nEp95QZfKVaK+irxl1XFEFuwuXXsSf7EjO6i5+CLy9uHhhBtNBBdJ JW3hqhIdgV2PNbjY6/OmI0KHy6zaMCn4CIYDfRPzKoOIdRdYZG5V1pWmH7c8ENyj Wp4bhWsEyEi40y16O6GAuMAB7KmyFV45ahPyublBjLtuQTYvtwE10+vaDO1qJwbb EtpiyHn5rocfkFKBcJrQM28eEl3x7kZpmXWlG6YDjchVNameSRN7iCrABn4mZUqx K+JmIjQyeth6lGsqvl9C9Hz06pBsm6Hq5b98iLuNqbVhCzWSCCYhcnfQq3y7y/c= =yz3C -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- -------- You are a member of the OpenNIC Discuss list.
