Carlos, Joel and I have no interest in active fundraising, soliciting proposals, debating or voting on how to spend the money. The GNU Toolchain community and project leadership can decide on projects and we will direct the FSF to distribute the funds. As discussed at the last Cauldron, the first interest of the community seems to be the shared infrastructure of Sourceware: hosting, system administration, backups, and updating the websites.
