OSC Update #4
Notes from our August board meeting, including financials, operations, and strategy.
New Tax Form System
If you invoice over $600/yr through OSC, we need to collect a tax form from you. When you hit the threshold, you will be notified and sent an email (via HelloWorks) asking you to complete a form online. It's much easier than the old system of emailing scanned documents! Let us know if you have any questions.
Coming Soon: Back Your Stack Upgrade

This will mean more support for less visible projects, money arriving without extra marketing, and hopefully many new financial contributors! Here's a sneak peak.
