An alternative is to join an umbrella organisation that has 
experience setting up foundations for open source projects. To 
name a couple:
Software Freedom Conservancy (Boost), Software in the Public 
Interest, and the Outercurve Foundation. As far as I understand 
it these organisations will help you with the paperwork, but you 
have full autonomy outside of that.

suggestions/ideas.
