Topic: Donations to keep this distro going

[compsos]

This may seem like a strange question, but if someone knows the answer that would be great.

We are thinking of making a donation for this year but as the last one we made last year was never acknowledged. We were not sure if it got to where it was intended.

If someone knows the status of the financial system behind the organisation and can confirm receipting systems are in place we are more than happy to put the transaction through.

There has been a lively discussion on this in the devinfo and discussion mailing lists (archives can be found here: http://lists.contribs.org/mailman/listinfo/). If you want to be sure your donation of last year was received try and contact Garett, his address is listed on the discussion mailing list AFAIK.

The new donation system works through the forums, using paypal IIRC and AFAIK it should be listed in your paypal account so I think a new donation could be confirmed like that.

Thanks Cactus
The donation screen is preconfigured for select amounts. We are looking at making a one off payment for the year. Is there another way of doing it?
And do you know who is now collecting (responsible) the money etc?

Your best bet is to contact admin AT contribs DOT org.

I've subscribed for $30, hope that helps a bit. Henceforth I'll add €50 to any install I do for an SME and donate that amount. There's a lot going for this distro, I'd hate to see it melt into the ether. Thanks to all of the developers, contributors, doc team and everyone involved for all of your hard work.

Now that wasn't too hard. Making donations is so easy via the paypal links. 

Thanks to all those involved in the support and development of this project.

SME is doing an outstanding job at a senior school (Edgemead High) in SA. They happily donated $100 today.
Thanks to the devs for a super reliable distro.

cheers,

I mainly use SME for a firewall and internet filter to keep my kids out of stuff they shouldn't be into.  I signed up for the $5 a month. 
And thanks to all of you for such a great server and community!
