I hope you have listened about KOOZALI FOUNDATION, INC else you need to read
this declaration of Reetp (J.Crisp) which give the start of the koozali foundation and the birth of Koozali SME Server certainly for the SME9...
As the work is huge, the project is even more exiting ....for getting a real community working around the same project.
Our server linux distro focused on simplicity, stability and security, designed to be operated by people with no technical background, while providing a platform for technical users to extend.
Of course it will be released when it will be ready....i hope soon:p
For all works we can find our way, we can find our place in contrib.org, but there is one we have to do is to give monthly some money to pay bills, the server farm of contribs or anything for making Koozali SME Server.
Actually we raise 200$/month and it is not clearly enough
With Koozali inc, we have thrown the foundation of an institution which will be financially accountable and tomorrow will be able to get donations from businesses.
Effectively money is the nerve of war!
5, 10$ or more by month it is realisable and it's a french "aveyronnais" who say that, I mean I have arms too short to go in my pocket
I prefer community project like debian or sme-server for many reasons which works are collaborative efforts, and results are enhanced in term of stability. However you are free to help, free to participate to bugzilla, free to read the devinfo's mailling list but try to help the community with all that you can do, mostly with a
monthly donation.
This month it costs me 25$ and i'm proud to help in this way....and You ?
