I think we need a sustainable financial source like what Mozilla do with
Google.

I was thinking about some thing like a feature that help us to integrate
with Google services like GoogleDocs.

Can we get the similar help from the Red Hat , Novel and Canonical in
addition to the developer contribution we already have?
It would be really great if we could have considerable budget for
Marketing/PR, and other work other than the infrastructure.

Even I propose to have a massage on the LibreOffice installer itself "We
are non-profit,... etc etc" and "Would you like to donate up?"

Best Regards,
