Some of you asked me to open a #OpenCollective account for donations.

Unfortunately, #Sengi doesn't meet their Open Source Collective's eligibility requirements (the source code isn't hosted under an organizational repository currently). So it's not possible for now. 😕

@postmarketOS Do you have any plans to enable any donation methods beside #opencollective which is currently preparing collaborating with #persona #KYC? It would be nice to be able to send money directly to an #IBAN account or via some not-us-based #crowdfunding platform like #steady.

Ok, so it seems OpenCollective is joining the dark side by their decision to work with Persona.

It seems one can only donate to CoMaps using OpenCollective or Liberapay, but using Liberapay still puts money in their OpenCollective bank account.

*sigh* 😫

@z428eu @kalivene How could a ragtag team of part time volunteer contributors from 6 continents submit to the legal undertaking of becoming a financial enterprise?

There's #Liberapay, #OpenCollective, #ko-fi, #BuyMeACoffee, #Patreon, #Github Sponsors, #SEPA etc and crypto coins. If your favorite app developer does not yet support the one you like... feel free to ask them.

I'm not really sure that this presentation actually clarified anything in terms of #Xfce and its financial relationship to #opencollective

Unfortunately, I think that may be causing more confusion. The presention seemed very convoluted.

In my personal opinion, I think that it is a net positive that we, #Xfce, are actually starting to spend the donations that we have received from our generous supporters on paying our core developers to improve the project.
