I wouldn't want to *force* anyone into donating, as there are other means to provide backing to Guix as well (by code contributions, hosting substitutes, etc.), but it should definitely be encouraged. Edouard, David: I haven't heard back from you two; please confirm whether you'd like to be listed. If I don't get a confirmation I'll let you register your organizations via a PR later, if you'd like to do so. -- Thanks, Maxim
