Hello... I've been going through our internal process for sending a donation for the clamav developers. I've run into two issues from the various people in this process.
1: why? accounting people cannot always grasp the concept of "because they need resources to keep the software current 2: how much? after getting over the 'why' we run into 'how much'. Bean counters want as little as possible. IDEA: Snag parts of the MySQL and RHN (redhat) models 1a: for a donation you get access to a primary always up to date mirror, that you can hit more frequently. e.g. every 15/30 minutes. 1b: for a donation you can email questions to a support list that while not guarenting an answer, might get first crack at support peoples time. 2a: Post some pricing suggestions on the web site. $500 per server per year. $20 per person per year. 2b: access to always current "stable binaries" built by the developers for various platforms. via apt/yum/up2date/etc -- Christopher McCrory "The guy that keeps the servers running" ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by OSTG.
