Hi everybody, As I mentioned in an earlier mail, the next darcs hacking sprint is coming up soon. I think this would a great chance for us to experiment with a little fundraising, starting with a relatively small target:
Let's aim to raise $1000 to help people pay for travel to the sprint (Utrecht, 17-19 April). To keep things simple, we will distribute this money equally among darcs hackers (this will be on the honour system: if anybody claims less than her share, we'll just redistribute accordingly). Raising the funds ------------------ I'm still waiting on paperwork for just to join the Software Freedom Conservancy to simplify the process. Once we have joined the SFC, I intend to put up a donations page following this model: http://www.selenic.com/mercurial/donations.html This will have Google checkout, Paypal, snail mail and wire transfer coordinates. Also, I am also considering putting a sort of sponsors page on the site (since nobody seems to object). If you are interested in sponsoring the darcs project, please get in touch with me. Finally, if we don't hear back from the SFC soon, we may be better off trying to do something ourselves (e.g. I could set up a personal PayPal account). I'll give us another week before I look into this option. Thanks! -- Eric Kow <http://www.nltg.brighton.ac.uk/home/Eric.Kow> PGP Key ID: 08AC04F9
