This is our plan. We need to pay for the infrastructure, though. At the 
moment toasterson is paying most of the fees.
We have sponsors who financially help the project via OpenCollective 
(https://opencollective.com/openindiana).  So in the future the 
infrastructure can at least partially be paid by sponsors. Furthermore, 
there are plans for a foundation.
