Hi Gonzalo,
thanks you for your very nice idea to contribute to FLTK. Please
understand that we can not check mails daily on the multiple
discussions groups, and reactions sometimes take a while until
our daily chores, jobs, families etc. allow us to react to FLTK
messages, as for most (all?) of us, writing for this library is
a hobby.
I couldn't have said it better. Thank you, Gonzalo, for your great
offer, this is very much appreciated.
As for me personally, I appreciate your
offer very much. I would like to ask the other devs for
suggestions on how to use this amount in a way that benefits
FLTK. Not sure who is currently paying the registration fees for
fltk.org, but maybe this would make up for some of the server
cost and help FLTK.org to stay online? @Albrecht?
Currently Greg ("Erco") is paying for the FLTK server hosting and
I believe this would be the best choice to help with money.
However I don't know how to transfer the money (technically) and
to organize such donations transparently if possible. I'm not sure
if there is an account of the hosting company that can be used to
accumulate some money to pay the bills in advance or whatever.
Such details could only be answered by Greg.
I've received Gonzalo's contribution this morning, and it will
all go towards
the hard costs of maintaining the FLTK webserver/domain.
If someone knows of a good way to open "an account for donations"
(Paypal or whatever) or something similar which we can use to pay
for the server all input would be appreciated.
Ya, here in the US it's kinda complicated -- basically some kind
of non-profit
entity I think needs to be created, as there's tax implications
for any kind of "income",
Not sure about other countries.
There's a bit written on the web about setting up open source
contributions,
and there's web services like Patreon that manages donations and
such.
We can probably discuss offline about the details amongst the
devs.
