Unless I'm mis-remembering the talks from the Flex Summit (which may very well be the case), I thought Apache would only accept donations to Apache as a whole and not to specific projects? So for example, if I wanted to give a bunch of cash that would fund the creation of Flex t-shirts, or that would pay stipends to speakers at a Flex-only conference, can Apache play a role in that? Pretty sure this exact question was brought up around Apache sponsorships and the answer was that giving money to Apache meant giving money to Apache (and not to help any specific project). --20cf307f34920d356804b6d05109--
