[gutvol-d] Kickstarter for summer of code?

What about using Kickstarter to raise money for a PG summer of code? I have a feeling that the folks arguing here, over email, would be more productive after some face time, and perhaps a few beers. It's easier to be snippy in email. Place and time to be determined. Either Europe (for Marcello and Carlo) or US East Coast would be the best bets. I would suggest that an experienced facilitator be hired/invited/whatever, someone who knows how to get geeks to pull together rather than savage each other :) Similarly, participants should be chosen for works-well-with-others skills as well as coding brilliance. NB: that leaves out Bowerbird on both counts. -- Karen Lofstrom
