I had some trouble finding the matching announcement on thier website (its packed with so much stuff I didn't see it at first). But here it is:
http://www.distrowatch.com/weekly.php?issue=current --linas On Tue, Mar 23, 2004 at 09:48:05PM -0800, Chris Lyttle was heard to remark: > Have we been contacted by these folks? > > Chris > > Announcement: DistroWatch to offer financial assistance to Free Software > projects > > DistroWatch is proud to announce an initiative to offer financial > assistance to Free Software projects. The extent of this assistance will > be set to 10% of DistroWatch's income from advertising, sale of > merchandise and related products and services, and can initially be > expected to reach between US$150 to US$500 per month. These funds will > be donated to various Free Software projects as determined by the > maintainers, contributors and visitors of DistroWatch. The donations > will have no strings attached. > > The first benefactor of this initiative will be the GnuCash project > (after all, what other project would be more suitable to receive the > first donation than the one we use to track DistroWatch finances?). The > second benefactor will be the Debian GNU/Linux project, which has been > our preferred operating system to host the DistroWatch web site since it > moved to a dedicated server over a year ago. Readers are welcome to > submit suitable candidates for consideration to receive financial > assistance, either in the reader forums in each issue of DistroWatch > Weekly, or by private email. There are no rules other than these > projects have to be of non-commercial nature, and they have to be > developed with the goal of advancing the adoption of Linux. > > The donations will be paid on the 1st of each month. The GnuCash project > will receive the donation on 1 April 2004 and the Debian project will > receive theirs on the first of the month following the release of Debian > 3.1 Sarge.
