Urgent help for OpenPrinting needed!

As many here know, I am co-founder and lead of OpenPrinting since 2001, known as the print guru for Linux and free software by many. I also got one of the 8 fellows of the Linux Foundation for this.

Up to now I was working at Canonical, hired back in 2006 just to run OpenPrinting and also to maintain printing-related Ubuntu packages.

Please boost.

@till could the Linux Foundation sponsor your work?

@agateau Thanks for the hint, but the Linux Foundation does not sponsor directly. I am working together with them to get help for getting directly sponsored and also to turn OpenPrinting into a legal organization, so that we can receive sponsoring.
