Finances (was Re: Release Party -- Afterthoughts)

[Theresa Hepburn]

Dedicating an account only to ubuntu-ma team  sounds like an excellent idea.
I don't know how many bank accounts you can attach to a paypal but that
would be extremely useful rather than people up-fronting money in hopes
they'll see some of it again. I don't know how we would deal with security
or keeping a limit on who has access, but I'm sure Martin & leftyfb would
have a better idea on how to deal with that situation. Also, opening an ING
or some other savings account for the team would be great so we can make
money off interest.
