Hi all, The poll "How much would you donate to OpenSceneGgraph if there was a call for donations?" has ended. http://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?key=pjqNRx7sg7XqtfbsKBomuKg&hl=en I'll let the poll open a few days before deleting everything.
The result is simply... hem... "far under expectations". Total answers: 16 Donation expected once: 643 $USD Donation expected yearly: 980 $USD (Using currencies conversion rates on 2009-01-12) Collected comments: - What you should do is have a membership system... always have free access (this is key to OSG success) but also have paid Academic/Professional Member type system. Higher levels get to do things like vote on things, get t-shirts, special email list, etc. If such a system existed I'd be happy to pay $200 a year (and it would be tax deductable). - This should -never- be mandatory; that would only scare away newcomers. I'm only considering donation because OSG could possibly contribute to the success of my new company. - It would be nice to attach the donation to the selection of one from a dynamic list of tasks, like my donation is for this task.... the tasks could be ranked for amount of money collected. The insertion of a new task could be subject to a minimum donation. - I feel I contribute directly to OSG with code and development, but I would be willing to kick in some $$$ occasionally. - I love OpenSceneGraph and promise contributing everytime. I'll post again if new answers are recorded before deletion.
