[SOLVED] openHAB subreddit locked?

[bartus (B K)]

@rlkoshak

purged Reddit from my internet habits a couple years ago as too much of a time sync

Smart man

@rlkoshak

I end up spending the same amount of time here only now at lest I feel like I’m helping people

I’ve noticed that, and I for one can say it’s very much appreciated!!

@rlkoshak

Perhaps it’s abandoned and we can start it up again (I nominate Bartus :-P). Any idea how to become a moderator on an abandoned subreddit?

Following your tip, I found out there’s a subreddit for that (/r/RedditRequest) - I’ve posted a request and we’ll see what happens! If it’s approved, I’ll leave it to @Kai to decide who should be made moderators of the subreddit going forward.

@rlkoshak

There was some talk about setting community use rules for the OH logo when the new logo was created but I don’t think that ever went anywhere.

I asked that question as well - but have not pushed the issue, understanding how swamped Kai is right now with the merge.

As a non-profit in Germany, I know that the foundation will never sell merch like this as it’s too complicated from a tax perspective.

That’s a great point, though a bit disappointing - I feel like the foundation is missing out on available funding streams - I also wonder how the HA organization is able to make it work - I thought that project was based out of the EU, as well? Perhaps there’s a way to designate a US-based member of the foundation to run these commercial/marketing aspects, and pass the funds back to the OH foundation or pay for services/equipment required to run things like myopenhab.org (I hope I’m not recommending something illegal or against the EU tax law :))
