Hi everyone, Jonas told me that some people didn't understand the raise of the goal − it looked like "Hey, I can make money with this ! let's try to make even more !". I just want to clarify things a bit :
The first goal was the strict legal minimum that I needed to get for the internship to be accepted. Now the fact is that this remains rather low (554.40€/month exactly), and clearly not enough to permit a comfortable living (I plan to take the necessary from my savings if needed, but that's just a safeguard and is clearly not optimal). So that's why I raised the goal. I apologize if felt roguish to some, there was no bad intention in it. Just to avoid miscomprehensions ;) -- Théophane Hufschmitt Sun 15 Jan 17 − 09:31, Théophane Hufschmitt(rg_ni...@regnat.ovh) a écrit: > Thanks everyone, this is amazing (and went amazingly fast !) > > I'll raise the goal − as I said, this goal was just the legal minimum > for me to be allowed to do it, but don't worry, I'll do it regardless of > how the rest of the campaign goes. > > So don't stop advertising this ;) > > -- > Théophane Hufschmitt > > Sat 14 Jan 17 − 22:23, zimbatm(zimb...@zimbatm.com) a écrit: > > Thanks everyone!
