http://www.documentfoundation.org/contribution/ provides a way to
donate money but I'd like to know what the money would be used for.
Is there any public budget or business plan?  Public accounting or
financial statements?

No detailed plan at the moment. We currently use the money where it is urgently needed. So far costs for domain registrition, server hosting,
bandwith, trademark and legal advice are covered.

We will surely need more money for better infrastructure and once this is done, we might start to pay people to maintain the infrastructure and make developer's live easier (currrently all this is done on a voluntary basis).


I'm also hesitant to donate to anything called OpenOffice because I
don't want to send money to Oracle :)

No - Oracle is not involved. OpenOffice.org Deutschland e.V. is a German non-profit initiated by volunteers from the Germanophone project years ago. You will find all the board members of the association at the list of the founding members of the Document Foundation :)

regards,

André
