Join Software Freedom Conservancy to get financing & support services for AQEMU

[Francewhoa]

Hello @tobimensch @tobgle @melvyn2 @xsgordon and all contributors to AQEMU :)

Suggestion

This is a suggestion for the maintainer(s) of this valuable AQEMU project to apply to the Software Freedom Conservancy (SFC). The QEMU project itself already joined.

With SFC your project could potentially get those benefits:

• Get financing. Without strings attached. Through donations. • Fundraising assistance • Tax-Deductible, Earmarked Donations • Basic legal protection • Some personal liability protection • FLOSS copyright license enforcement • Asset stewardship • Officiating Community Elections and Ballot Initiatives • Leadership mentoring, advice and guidance • Benefits of existing as a non-profit corporate entity. Without engaging in the arduous work of forming a separate, new organization. Avoid non-profit administrivia. • Contract negotiation and execution • Conference logistical support

What is SFC?

Software Freedom Conservancy is a not-for-profit charity that helps promote, improve, develop, and defend Free, Libre, and Open Source Software (FLOSS) projects. Conservancy provides a non-profit home and infrastructure for FLOSS projects. This allows FLOSS developers to focus on what they do best — writing and improving FLOSS for the general public — while Conservancy takes care of the projects' needs that do not relate directly to software development and documentation.
