Apache OpenOffice does not receive donations and does not manage a budget. It happens there are some funds "on-account" at the ASF that are available to OpenOffice. Those arrived in an unusual manner in the early history of the project. That exception is unlikely to repeat.
Generally, the Apache Software Foundation has a budget and manages funds. There are treasurer reports in every monthly Board Report at the foundation level. You can see those at <http://www.apache.org/foundation/board/calendar.html>. In some case, projects can request that funds available for some purpose be expended on behalf of the project. For example, application for and renewal of trademark registrations is done by requests to the VP Branding. That VP will make requests for budget to cover anticipated expenses of that kind. Similarly, Infrastructure might be worked with to fund the contract labor and any hardware and operating costs of build slaves dedicated for OpenOffice use. - Dennis > -----Original Message----- > From: Alexandro Colorado [mailto:j...@gultab.org] > Sent: Thursday, July 21, 2016 15:22 > To: dev@openoffice.apache.org > Subject: Re: Donations? > > Unfortunately this community hasnt been very vocal about budgeting and > is > very lurky to know if we have any funds at all at the end of the day, we > used to have very clear reports: > https://wiki.openoffice.org/wiki/Community_Council/Funding_And_Budgets/B > udget_2011 > > On Thu, Jul 21, 2016 at 4:55 PM, Marcus <marcus.m...@wtnet.de> wrote: > > > Am 07/21/2016 09:26 PM, schrieb Patricia Shanahan: > > > >> In looking at the web pages to see where to insert mentoring offers > >> etc., I noticed that https://openoffice.apache.org/get-involved.html > has > >> a link to "make a small donation".
