Hi,
We don't need any bank account to get it started. Someone has to sign up
for a new account with the adwords system under the name of the
consortium. Then once it is accepted we just add the relevant code to
the various pages/sites in the LAO posse.
It takes about 10 minutes to sign up and a couple of days to be processed.
Cheers.

What do we need to get this going? A paypal account? What else?

Hi,
One possible way of generating a small revenue stream which could be
used to support the consortium financially is to have google/yahoo ads
on the LAO websites.
Currently none of the websites hosted have them and it is obviously
not everyones first choice.
A few reasons I can think of for adding advertising to the site are:
- Constant stream of income
- The sites get heavy traffic so we would get high click through rates
and percentages
- It *could* make us look more professional to non-Libre initiated users
- If the sites make good money then it will be channeled back into the
consortium and associated projects
- Google has been supportive of LAD and open source through "Summer of
Code"
- We all use Google anyway so lets cash in like everyone else
Anyhow it is definitely a consortium decision as it will no doubt be
viewed negatively by a substantial number of LAD/LAU'ers.
No objection here.
I've recently considered adding Google ads on the
soundapps site, though my inertia will probably kibosh that plan. :)
Best,
dp
