Re: [Elementary-dev-community] Donate to Yorba
Thanks for the feedback, Jim! I caught that right after I sent that mail. ;) So far we've had individual members donate if possible, and we're helping to spread the word via our online presence. Everyone else: if you haven't donated yet, but have some cash to drop on the development of this awesome app, please head over there and donate. We want Geary to rock and would benefit greatly from their success. As far as an official donation from elementary, we're still discussing details as a council, but we definitely want to help them out.

Re: [Elementary-dev-community] Donate to Yorba
Correction: it looks like they opted for the fixed funding model, so yeah, they only get the money if they reach the goal.

Re: [Elementary-dev-community] Donate to Yorba
Hey guys, We're doing an all-or-nothing campaign, like Kickstarter. IndieGoGo does offer a flexible funding model, but as you pointed out, they eat a larger chunk if you don't make the goal. See http://support.indiegogo.com/entries/20566503-Fixed-vs-Flexible-Funding I can answer any other questions as well! -- Jim On Mon, Mar 25, 2013 at 1:21 PM, Cassidy James wrote: They get the money no matter what (unlike Kickstarter).

Re: [Elementary-dev-community] Donate to Yorba
They get the money no matter what (unlike Kickstarter). The difference is the fee that IndieGoGo takes: 4% of the donations if the goal is reached, 9% if it's not.

Re: [Elementary-dev-community] Donate to Yorba
Hey Dan, I was wondering the same thing. I definitely think we should encourage people to donate to Yorba, but I'm not sure how much we can commit financially. >From a practicality perspective, it would be cool to donate at least the $25 to get elementary mentioned within Geary. ;) Regards, Cassidy James On Mar 25, 2013 3:12 PM, "Daniel Foré" wrote: > Hey everyone, > > Yorba just launched their crowdfunding campaign on IndieGoGo.

Re: [Elementary-dev-community] Donate to Yorba
100,000$ is a lot of spaghetti! I didn't even know we (elementary) had money, but if so, I don't see why we shouldn't donate something like 50-100$. I don't know indiegogo works, but do they also get the money if they don't make 100,000$? I'm afraid that they won't get 100,000$, even though I'd like that very much.
