In my experience micro-funding never worked to raise more than a meager 100 EU in a year. But then maybe I just didn't do it right... It seems to work for mediagoblin with the help of the FSF http://mediagoblin.org/pages/campaign.html fingers crossed! altough 60K $ sound like a lot for a single project, but its already at 5k after short! in this thread, after my financial-crisis outing, there was no answer after the initial complaint of removing google ads from dyne:bolic should I also apologize for my mediterranean temper maybe? Now I'll revamp the discussion with an offer :^) plz help making a fundraising campaign like this one (if it works...) for our project and if it succeeds (lets say, can be a first step goal of 10k) all non-free ads from dynebolic.org will be removed forever. sounds like a deal? :) hey I'm trying to be constructive here.. > Also, back on the economic crisis, a lot of good experiences came out of > it.

I was reading "ours to master and to own" book by I.Ness and D.Azzellini on these stories. We had some also in Italy, once. ciao -- http://jaromil.dyne.org GPG: B2D9 9376 BFB2 60B7 601F 5B62 F6D3 FBD9 C2B6 8E39
