 * Discussion if OSGeo can fund new features as part of a project budget: OSGeo wouldn't really fund the new features, we'd fund the project and if the project wanted to use that for new features, that would be a PSC decision.
 * Feedback from Michael: we are a non profit, but donations to us are not tax exempt so its not the same situation as if donations were tax exempt. It was actually an issue in our non profit status, the IRS didn't want us to be a type that accepted tax-exempt donations so that companies could fund development without paying taxes.
