We're not really limited by lack of funds,
whaaa
but more by lack of focussed
effort. If anyone wants to contribute funds, probably the best use would
be to add bug bounties for bugzilla issues that they find to be
neglected. The bounties don't really compensate at professional rates,
but they do work as a nice "thanks" to those who donate their valuable
time.
A $150 monthly contribution would cover our hosting costs. $1000 per
month would cover the yearly basic costs for DConf. $500 more per month
would add A/V for the conference. We've had DConf partially sponsored,
but it's good to have autonomy. Some more couple thousands would buy us
things like a web designer. $2000 or more per month would possibly get
us a person to put on things that are urgent and important.
We're very much limited by the lack of funds.
