<H1> the xine project is looking for sponsors! </H1>

<H2> individual users </H2>

<IMG SRC="treasure.gif" hspace=20 vspace=10 border=0 align=right alt="Treasure">
<P> You are a big fan of xine, and want to sponsor us? Very nice idea!
Although you can't sponsor the xine project as a whole (xine isn't a company,
there is no real boss so there's no one to decide whom to give the things or
the money you donate), you can sponsor individual developers. Below you find a list
of wishes from xine developers, for details on how to get things
delivered to them please contact them via email. Your donation will be
apreciated and you'll be listed on this page in reward.</P>

<H2> companies </H2>

<p> You are a company and want to develop a product (e.g. a setup box, a multimedia
pda, a pos terminal, a digital vcr, ...) based on xine? You are a GNU/Linux distributor
and your customers love xine so you want to help this project or share some of the
money you made by including xine in your distribution? If so, you have two
possibilites: sponsor some xine developers, or hire them:</P>

<P> If you want to sponsor xine developers (with money, with hardware...) please
contact them using their email addresses below. Your company will then be listed
on this page, possibly including a small banner ad and link to your website, depending
on what you would like to see and how much you want to give. </P>

<P> If you need certain features for your product, or want to have xine customized
for your needs or for your platform, you can hire one or more developers of the
xine team. Please post on the xine-devel mailing list a short description of
your project and the tasks you want to have done by a xine developer. Developers
who are interested in working for you will then contact you directly. </P>

<TD> I'm a big fan of non-x86 hardware. If you have any old hardware that can run GNU/Linux
(sun, apple, hp, vax) and want to donate it, please contact me. Besides that I find
handheld devices with fast processors (strongarm 200 mhz or something like that) quite
faszinating for a possible xine port ... or how about spending some $$ to support 
xine developement ... or anything? ;> </TD> </TR>

<TD> Some relatively older test machines - a dual celeron 400 would be ideal, so I can play
 both with SMP and with slower CPUs. Or an i810 to play with XvMC. Or  
something :) I dont really expect much from the $$$ side though.

<TD> rj...@he... </TD> </TR>
<TR>
<TD> Either a) A selection of DVDs from the major DVD makers, Warner Bros, Fox, 
BBC, etc. Precise choice up to benefactor but a mixture of old + new would be 
good. Note, I don't necessarily want DVDs that I'd enjoy since I'd spend more 
time watching them than coding!<BR>
or, preferably,<BR>
b) A hardware DVD (dxr3-based) card to help make sure the Dxr3 stuff will 
still work with the DVD stuff.
