Hi,
Goteo answered my questions and I am a bit confused what to do - I guess
just keep preparing the campaign.
1. They say that we can skip the second funding round.
2. The contract they were talking about is signed between Goteo and us
at the moment we raise our minimum budget. It says that we agree to
complete the project and distribute the rewards and collective returns
within a year.
3. Still don't know about transfer fees, but as we are all in EU, they
shouldn't be crazy. It may take some time to get the money.
The remaining issue is the project review process - it can take 2-3
weeks. I am waiting for clarification. Do you know what is the project
review process in Arizuka?
The bottom line is that I need to do it as quickly as possible. I should
be able to spend some time this weekend, but I am a bit sick so not sure
how efficient it will be.
Cheers,
Jarek

Hi,
As promised we need to decide today what platform we will use for our
hackadon crowdfunding campaign. Here is my opinion.
Goteo offers useful features - projects description in multiple
languages displayed automatically, space for institutional sponsors,
direct interactions with sponsors, source code available on open
license, they are partners of LibreFunding.
However, even though I still haven't heard back from them regarding our
questions, I found a couple of worrying things on the FAQ:
- two rounds of financing 40 days each are required, and we don't have a
clear vision or time to organise the second round
- after submitting the project it can take up to two weeks for it to be
approved, and then one extra week for corrections - we don't have that time
- there are extra fees when collecting money to French account; I don't
know the exact difference (asked them), but dealing with foreign entity
can also generate fiscal issues for us and for our institutional sponsors
Although Goteo is great, I think we should go with Arizuka this year and
try them next year when we have more time and experience.
Bastien, you can try to use our campaign to lobby them to open their
source;)
Cheers,
Jarek Lipski
