Hello The « Enlighenment.fr » association aims to help all the actions which are involved in the development and diffusion of « Enlightenment » and the software libraries « EFL », as well as all the FOSS using or linked in a way or another with these two components.
The donations have already been useful to help some people who want to participate to events like fosdem, EDD, ... (travel, hostel, buying tshirts or goodies to sell on the stands, etc...). It has also been used for spair part and buying our server infrastructure. We have been using a physical bank account which come at a continuous cost. This has been draining our account with little benefit over the year. Today with cryptocurrency, you have that problem solved (Sure, you get up and down, but you shouldn't get ultimately down to zero). For this reason, we have started moving to enable cryptocurrency payment to support the project. Please take a look at https://www.enlightenment.org/contrib/start for more details. Last week a few of our hard drive in our main server have died. It would be to be expected that more will in the near future. So this is a good time to remind people in the community that this infrastructure require us to have some spair money to maintain it and if you can make a small donation, it will definitively be put to good use. It is also a good time to thanks OSU Open Source Lab and Fondation Free.fr for their help over the years in hosting our infrastructure : https://osuosl.org/ and https://www.fondation-free.fr/.
