In fact, thinking of that, I'm not sure we need two foundations for 
the moment :)
At least start with the US one, we'll see later if others are needed...
What will be the interest of the foundation ? basically, have an 
entity representing GNUstep,
and help the visibility of the project.

But practically, it's mostly in order to simplify raise of money for 
the project
(... for example... pay for the icons... or t-shirts, or prints, etc. )
A single foundation will be more than enough to start with imho, and 
we are not enough to create
foundations everywhere (europe, asia...)
