Hello all, I am Jehan, a GIMP developer, and user of Free Software. I really like Scribus too (I never patched it yet, though it may come some day, as I use it more and more lately).
Anyway, a small non-profit I manage, association LILA, is organizing for a month a calendar sale with several artists using Free Software. http://librecal2015.libreart.info/ The artists are: Patrick David, Aryeom Han, Henri Hebeisen, Gustavo Deveze and Brian Beck. Two are photographers, two are illustrators, and one is a 3D graphics illustrator. All of them use Free Software for their work and all the artworks in the calendar will be released as Creative Common Attribution. A part of the sale profit will go to the artists, and we also want to donate to a selection of Free Software. Among them, I thought that Scribus is a good donation target. But I realized that I can't find any donation information on your webpage. Searching the web, I found year-old emails saying that an organism able to receive funds was going to be created, but I can't find if that actually ever happen. Can the Scribus project receive any donation in a way or another to help with development? If not, I'll have to update the website. In any case, if you like the project, don't hesitate to go and buy a calendar. :-) Thanks! Jehan
