Hi, I'd really like to send you some money to help out. I could never
find any way to donate mentioned on your site, perhaps adding a
prominent button somewhere would help? Had it not been for your
excellent work I would have had no option but to use a proprietary OS
and NLE and for saving me from this horror I am extremely grateful and
glad of the opportunity to give something back.

Regarding funding future development of Lumiera and Cinelerra I have
just heard about the Software Freedom Conservancy
http://conservancy.softwarefreedom.org/overview and it sounds perfect
(IMO).
It offers (at no cost) "...the ability to collect earmarked project
donations and protection from personal liability for the developers of
the project. Projects can continue to operate in the same way they did
before joining the Conservancy without having to select a board of
directors or any other layer of corporate management, without having
to maintain corporate records and without having to do any of the
other things required of incorporated entities. The Conservancy
handles all of that burden on behalf of its projects."

Inkscape, Wine, Twisted and many other prominent projects are members.
Does it sound like an interesting option?

Cheers,
goibhniu
