Re: @Groovy Champions: Groovy Development Funding ?

Yes MG, that's right, it wouldn't be like a crowd funding, but a one-on-one relationship. I guess this solution would work only if there is like a Groovy foundation managing the tasks/money. Mario 2018-02-22 0:00 GMT+01:00 MG : > Hi Mario, > > thank you for the input. If I

Re: @Groovy Champions: Groovy Development Funding ?

Hi Mario, thank you for the input. If I interpret the information on the webpage correctly, the system works for one-on-one funding of tasks between e.g. a developer and a stakeholder for specific tasks of a project. I don't know if this would work in the case of Groovy, because here we would

Re: @Groovy Champions: Groovy Development Funding ?

I thought this could be worth sharing. The company I work for developed some time ago, Tribe ( https://tribe.taiga.io/) Tribe is a task-based employment marketplace for product development. It was created with software development in mind. The tasks can be managed through the open sourced Taiga

Re: @Groovy Champions: Groovy Development Funding ?

Hi Eric, thank you for the suggestion. Do you know how much money they take for their service and if they accept Paypal (I just thought about this, and not accepting Paypal is imho close to a knockout, to keep the entry barrier as low as possible; that would exclude Kickstarter according to

Re: @Groovy Champions: Groovy Development Funding ?

I know of some indie game developers and podcasters that are using Patreon. A possible alternative to something like KickStarter/Indiegogo with more of a subscription model which could even be $1/month. https://www.patreon.com What is Patreon? - video

That should be no problem, I would be happy to do a Groovy "thank you" mug o.s.  :-) On 16.02.2018 17:11, Mario Garcia wrote: +1 but also keep in mind that sometimes could be also something as simple as a "grateful box pack" with a T-shirt, sticker or a mug. I would love that too. Mario El

Re: @Groovy Champions: Groovy Development Funding ?

Positively surprised by the responses so far :-) I agree that one or more concrete goals would be easiest to entice people to fund some development. Batching together multiple goals might have its merits, since it would allow goals with less support to also be funded over time. I hve to

Actually, Apache also accept donations but I think the standard policy is that it isn't then directed back to a specific project. I think in general we would be in favor of doing this so long as it was done well - and most of us wonder whether we have the time to market/advertise it well. I also
