      What we see is a the outcome of not caring enough about our foundations and groups, not the failure of the model itself.

      Also, it must be seen that many fundgivers are not interested in having this work on their books - this is where a foundation is perfect to step in. The reason people are giving money to the Linux foundation is because it is _there_ and offers the promise of support.

      Finally, individuals are not sustainable. When they leave, who manages changeover?

      Project leadership can be a coalition of stakeholders, and doesn't need to be coupled to funding centralization. In my experience, strong stakeholder coalitions manage change better than legal entities (called "fictional persons" for a reason ;) )

      Legal entities serve as a bucket that can hold money. We’re currently considering paying someone in Russia for some FOSS, and boy, would I love for a legal entity that has done that a thousand times and knows how. Now I have to spend extra time to deal with tax law, ...

      checking if I violate one or multiple embargoes, whether my bank will transfer money to Russia, whether US clients might put us on a black list due to that. Give me a legal fictional person that has staff and knowledge. I’ll gladly pay 10% of the total.

      In most cases, you can find an existing entity in those places to help, but again, I'm not saying that there are no reasons to have legal entities for specific tactical goals. That's what legal entities are for.

      I'm saying foundations are part of a sustainability story, not a sustainability story. And we should be careful not to throw out the idea of direct spending (which is, ime, where a huge % of OSS funding comes from today) in our efforts to expand the set of options for funding.

      My personal style is to start with an engineering culture that treats upstreaming and bug reporting as normal and fund direct contributions as appropriate.

      I like to advocate this approach but have no problem with making other approaches available to companies who need them. On the other hand, I have a real problem with hostility towards direct spending and talking about foundations as the only solution.

      Direct spending is certainly an option, but I think that taking the flaws of the Linux foundation as a reason to prefer it is not something I agree with. I very much agree with @Argorak that the FOSS world needs to observe what worked for others, e.g. ...

          how did the Knight Foundation stick around since 1950? That’s longer than most if not all FOSS structures exist. But the FOSS has some established, resonably well working foundations as well. Mozilla has been around for a bit.

          We don't have to agree on our preference, only to tolerate each others' preferences as part of a wider funding system 😀
