RE: Donations?

the San Diego City College Robotics team can spend. If Apache only manages funds on a whole foundation basis, I will probably never add ASF to my donation list. On 7/21/2016 5:02 PM, Dennis E. Hamilton wrote: Apache OpenOffice does not receive donations and does not manage a budget. It happens

RE: Donations?

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.

Donations?

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". Does that collect any money, and if so might it help with buildbot costs?

Take Bitcoins donations

I know this is not the best list to talk about this since, well, is more of an Apache thing than OpenOffice. However Mozilla Foundation just partner with Coinbase to take bitcoin donations. Wonder if this could be an idea that could pick up with the Apache Foundation. Bitcoin is the most

donation will help to run all this. We have good partners like sourceforge but any single individual can help as well. PayPal can handle many small donations. But yes we have to align this with fundrasing to ensure that we do it correct and in a way that they can handle it. Another entirely

[Proposal]: Call for donations

Hi, in relation to our budget planning I asked myself if OpenOffice has any impact on the donations to the ASF? Well I don't know and we can probably figure this out but the question is what can we do ti collect more donations and use our brand more effective. When I look on our main website I

Hi, sorry for my top posting but I always fail to quote emails like this correct. It is no big thing here, the ASF had a pay pal account and people can donate whatever they want. We simply have to encourage people to do it and gave to make clear that donations are made for ASF and not only

reasonably close to that. Also, the OpenOffice infrastructure requirements (buildbots, management) generates additional expenses for the Foundation that only benefit the OpenOffice project. In short: if OpenOffice can use its web traffic and popularity to drive more donations to the Foundation
