      after reading through this thread I'm left wondering: has this community ever considered becoming a cooperative?

      There's a series of advantages in becoming a cooperative that could potentially be worth the slightly higher effort, like:

      • A transparent and democratic governance model
      • Member funding
      • Access to micro-loans and/or donations
      • Fiscal advantages (at least in some EU countries)

      Are there any discussions around this?

      Thanks

        We are currently working on making UBports a legal entity, you have some good points there. It should be done soon (TM).

        <shameless self-promotion>Btw, we are already accepting donations on our patreon page :)</shameless self-promotion>

          @NeoTheThird I'm more than eager to contribute, even substantially (€50/100 a month) on Patreon, but I'd much appreciate if we could move towards a coop (or other legal entity model) ASAP.

            @antanicus The plan is to make a foundation under German law, then it will become much easier to handle money flows officially. Stay tuned πŸ™‚
