Announcement: DistroWatch to offer financial assistance to Free Software
projects

DistroWatch is proud to announce an initiative to offer financial
assistance to Free Software projects. The extent of this assistance will
be set to 10% of DistroWatch's income from advertising, sale of
merchandise and related products and services, and can initially be
expected to reach between US$150 to US$500 per month. These funds will
be donated to various Free Software projects as determined by the
maintainers, contributors and visitors of DistroWatch. The donations
will have no strings attached.

The first benefactor of this initiative will be the GnuCash project
(after all, what other project would be more suitable to receive the
first donation than the one we use to track DistroWatch finances?). The
second benefactor will be the Debian GNU/Linux project, which has been
our preferred operating system to host the DistroWatch web site since it
moved to a dedicated server over a year ago. Readers are welcome to
submit suitable candidates for consideration to receive financial
assistance, either in the reader forums in each issue of DistroWatch
Weekly, or by private email. There are no rules other than these
projects have to be of non-commercial nature, and they have to be
developed with the goal of advancing the adoption of Linux.

The donations will be paid on the 1st of each month. The GnuCash project
will receive the donation on 1 April 2004 and the Debian project will
receive theirs on the first of the month following the release of Debian
3.1 Sarge. Announcement about the donations will be made in DistroWatch
Weekly on the first Monday of each month.
