Short answer: yes :)
Here is some info on our actual finances:
Donations are very randomly distributed, They are all listed in the donations
page. Membership appears to be stuck in around 30 members, some new ones come
in, others go away. The current average fee is 8.9€, yielding 250€/month.
There is some money coming from the stores, but mostly symbolic
(~100€/year).
The sum of all our funds is 3409€, and we started collecting about a year
ago, making a 300€/month average including all sources. The plan is to
leave the money in the bank -as a buffer- until the average is enough to
cover a minimal wage salary for myself -I'm by now living off my savings
account-.
I think we should start some sort of end-of-year fundraising campaign. I
would like to see the first associate members working as ambassadors for the
project.
BTW, we will soon be adding more benefits to associates, starting with a
jabber account matching the @member.trisquel.info email alias.
