> 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.
