I've worked with Apache projects in the past, for a
previous business.  I think becoming an Apache project
would change the way Koha development works, to fit in with
http://www.apache.org/foundation/how-it-works.html#management
- why do you think it wouldn't change much?

If we want a minimum-change host foundation, I still suggest
we ask to become a project of Software in the Public Interest,
http://www.spi-inc.org/ - other projects there include PostgreSQL,
Debian, Fresco, GNUstep and OFTC. Gnome and OSI were projects
until they set up their own foundations, so we could spin off
later if there's need/desire to do so.

Comments?
