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,

In case anyone cares (this was the last ‘prediction’ for the next year
thread), here’s a overview explanation I did 2 years ago:

There are worse things to invest in, than having a computer desktop that
actually works. 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.
