Hello All,
I wanted to let everyone know that I have enabled the "accept project
donations" option for the OpenG Toolkit project at SourceForge. This =
allows
people to donate funds to a SourceForge project through PayPal. I have
placed a link to donation information, on the OpenG Toolkit navigation =
menu
on the OpenG.org website.
You can read more about this here:
http://sourceforge.net/donate/index.php?group_id=3D52435
The donations will be spent (by default) on future web hosting and =
meeting
expenses which have historically been about $1000/year and have been =
paid by
James Kring, Inc.. I see this as a worthwhile investment and would like =
to
give other businesses the opportunity to contribute ;-) I will keep a =
full
account of all donations and make information on the appropriation of =
these
funds publicly available, while allowing donators to optionally remain
anonymous.
I have specified that if people would like donations to be spent on the
development of certain projects or features, that they should first =
contact
me directly to discuss their needs. Ultimately I would like to enable
projects to be able to do development work for pay. However, there are
probably some contractual/legal issue that would need to be worked out, =
in
order to move forward with this idea. I'll have to check with some =
other
projects to find out how they handle such things.
If anyone has thoughts on these issues, I welcome your feedback.
Regards,
-Jim Kring
