h1. Steering Committee: FSF and Replicant agreement

The FSF and developers (Denis Carikli and Paul Kocialkowski) representing the Replicant project have made an "agreement":https://redmine.replicant.us/attachments/download/1600/fsf-replicant-sponsorship-agreement.pdf in 2013 that enables the FSF to conduct "fundraising":https://crm.fsf.org/civicrm/contribute/transact?reset=1&id=19 in the name of Replicant and governs fund usage.

In a nutshell:

* The FSF holds Replicant funds and acts like an umbrella organization.

* The person that is designed to be in contact with the FSF is Denis Carikli.

* The people responsible for fund usage decisions are Paul Kocialkowski and Denis Carikli

* Our contact at the FSF is John Sullivan

Since then the agreement has been amended to:

* Allow paying for software development.

* Remove Paul Kocialkowski from the agreement.

* Add Filippo Bergamo and Joonas Kylmälä to the agreement, whom, together with Denis Carikli, form the current Replicant Steering Committee, which is responsible for fund usage decisions.
