First, at the Foundation creation, there was a strong concensus to not use a membership fees and to live with volunteer donation. In the meanwhile, we see that the first round of donation worked pretty well but people generaly forget to renew their donation. So on the board, there is a running discussion to solve this by sending a gently reminder to past donator (and member) if they did not make a donation since one year. Personaly I find it is a good compromise between free membership and recurring donation. After that, of course if poeple has suggestions to ease the recurring donation. For example a service similar to Paypal but with recursion, we can evaluate it to support it. An other point is that normally the Foundation should be allowed to start the process of being recognized of "public interest" in 2014 (must wait 1 year). This should allow to provide fiscal deduction (at least for Europe countries). -- Cédric Krier - B2CK SPRL Email/Jabber: [email protected] Tel: +32 472 54 46 59 Website: http://www.b2ck.com/
