Hi,

I am an admin of the Pd Facebook group.

People have been asking for a sticky-post announcing this funding for GEM 
development.
A poll confirmed this was overwhelming supported.
i'm very glad of this support.



Can someone give me a SINGLE link which is best for the entire project?
It should have some narrative about WHO is running the project and
WHAT it is, and HOW people can contribute funds.
I'll do that when ready.
thanks for your patience
(last release is 6 years old, we can wait 1 or 2 more weeks)


Also, is there a way people can contribute funds to the entire project,
and not towards fixing specific bugs?  (I am unfamiliar with this funding 
model).
we all are : it's not the way free software usually work.

cheers
c


I want to satisfy the request for a sticky post, but I'm not sure how to 
proceed.

Thanks,
BH

    so.... do we then keep lobbying for bountysouce funding? again, we could 
have this pinned on the facebook group (12k subscribers) which could generate 
greater donations.

        hello,
        sorry for being unresponsive. I don't have lot's of free time.


        All money put on a bounty can be moved to an other bug, and there are 
lot's of bugs to fix :
        https://www.bountysource.com/trackers/1046360-umlaeute-gem 
<https://www.bountysource.com/trackers/1046360-umlaeute-gem>
        So, don't worry about the money already in the bounty system : it will 
not be useless.

        I put money on the 4 issues that prevent a new release. But I talk to 
Iohannes and it appear I may have made some mistake. Iohannes should organize a 
bit the github issue soon. We may have to moved some founding from 1 issue to 
an other after that. So, let's wait that Iohannes spend few time on github 
before we announce this bounty to a bigger audience.

        About New Blanket, I fail to find a good way to go, since I already 
start the bounty system, and that I don't have enough free time.
        But having this new release in only a 1st steep : there is lot's of 
other bugs and feature request that are waiting for to long.
        So, next time, with a better organization, we will find a way to have 
NB help us on the founding.

        I'm aware that thing moves slowly, but at least they are moving!

        cheers

            Hi, so, what's up?

            we already have 385$ thrown at bountysource, ditching it would mean 
throwing about 40$ in the thrash, plus taxes to paypal... it'd be weird and 
silly, not to mention a disrespect to some who felt like they wanted to help 
(I, for one, would feel like that and regretful I helped). Any word or idea on 
what's going on there?

            I guess multiple sources could be a good way to go if you feel 
there's also a better parallel option, but please don't just do this without 
consulting people who have already pledged money, and while this is still out 
there in the air and others could give yet more money to it.

            cheers

                 Depending on how the money is being used maybe that wouldn't 
be a bad thing.

                 Using this Patreon as an example 
https://www.patreon.com/pippin the
                 funding is to support the developer, not necessarily the GIMP 
software
                 (even though the aforementioned person is a major developer of 
GIMP).

                 So, if we look at bountysource/this funding drive as a way to 
fund
                 developers rather than the software (semantics, i know!) does 
that get
                 over these potential issues?
