How about this. Why don't we all put our money where our mouth is and donate $50 dollars Canadian to OSflash. Lets find some monthly contributor's as well.
That is better than me putting up $300 dollars once. Everyone put in $50 now or anything you can afford then lets put in monthly amounts. It is understandable if you cannot do it some times but lets make this thing a reality and stop bickering. I'm in. Who else? It would sure be nice to see everyone join in. Especially those that hate me asking all these horribly evil questions :) On Thursday 19 October 2006 7:00 pm, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > Hey Evert, > > Where is your reply? > > On Thursday 19 October 2006 6:54 pm, [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: > > You know I make most of my donating in secret due to religious beliefs. > > It sucks to be questioned on my donating based on my asking why Adobe did > > not contribute the time and financial efforts towards OSFlash.
