I did join that mailing list. I didn't post, I think, even though I should be working hard on the next Krita fund raiser. Proposal: Addition to the Manifesto of KDE [7] and there to the Commitments section. Something like: all KDE projects coordinate their financial "work" (better wording?) with the KDE e.V. (board?) Not sure the manifesto thing makes sense, it took us quite a while to agree on the manifesto and i'd like to think we can just be sensible people without the manifesto telling us to be :D Coordinate yes -- but please, be aware that there are some very real constraints for a campaign that make it not a good idea to postpone it, in some cases. For instance, I cannot afford to postpone a Krita campaign if that means I can no longer pay for Dmitry... On hte other hand, I think I've made good progress with getting Krita awareness out beyond the kde/free software/linux world, so it isn't that urgent, I think we can try and tie in links and mentions of KDE to a bigger extent in our next campaign.

I think this is a must, i tried to get people to join kde-ev-campa...@kde.org to coordinate this kind of stuff, but seems i failed since you didn't even suggest it ;) I don't care were do we coordinate, but we should coordinate. Why i think it's a must? Fundraising is not trivial, getting comments/suggestions or even active help from people that have done fundraisers before is going to really boost your chances of success. > Proposal: > Addition to the Manifesto of KDE [7] and there to the Commitments section. > Something like: all KDE projects coordinate their financial "work" (better > wording?) with the KDE e.V. (board?) Not sure the manifesto thing makes sense, it took us quite a while to agree on the manifesto and i'd like to think we can just be sensible people without the manifesto telling us to be :D Cheers, Albert ___ kde-community mailing list kde-community@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-community
