As for that lost donation, perhaps I will find warmth in my heart, and enough money in my account, to make up for the creepy insincerity of the previous retracted-but-never-truly-offered donation of others. I can't promise anything now, but maybe in another couple months. I will put my money where somebody else only talks.
been thinking of sending something anyway, but retirement puts a crimp in one's wallet. besides I sent something a yr ago and got no acknowledgement which makes me worry about our founder.
There are worse things to invest in, than having a computer desktop that actually works.
Years ago I decided I was going to donate $200 per year to some open source project. Occasionally I’d split it up, but most often it went o Drupal, as that is (was [1]) the open source project my business relies on. Last year I sent it to TDE. This year I’m splitting it between TDE, MX Linux, and Backdrop CMS.
But, like Felmon, I received zero acknowledgment it was received. (To be fair, I’ve never received any acknowledgment from any donation I’ve made to people at xda-developers either, so maybe it’s just a sole proprietor thing?)
I’m pretty sure donations to TDE don’t make a dent in Tim’s account receivables, but . . .
Questions:
- Has anyone ever received a donation acknowledgment from Tim? - Is there a donation acknowledgment page somewhere? - Do we, the donators, think we should get one? - Tim how are you doing? (Talk to us man!)
OT Questions:
- Does anyone else make a set amount of donations per year? - Pro’s? Con’s? - What other methods do people use for rewarding open source?
Best All, Michael
