That varies. Some month it is $10, occasionally it can be $100. What Bastien and I have done in the past is use this money in a more or less private way. I think Bastien has at some point replaced his laptop in this way, and all in all I have done the same, I think. This felt OK previously, but it is not longer the right thing as far as I am concerned. I have seen a few good ideas here. 1. Send it to the FSF. That is a possibility, but lets first try to do something more Org specific 2. A Mug for every contributor. Stretches the available budget, and is work. We could make a list of contributors and start from the most commits or something. 3. Help organise a conference. That would be a very good goal. Are there any plans to organise a conference? 4. Redistribute to the most active developers for lighting up their day. I propose the following: Starting March 1, I will report here the donations I get once a month, and we will keep track of it and find a good way to spend it. So far this month: $66. Lets revisit the discussion in 2 or three months. Maybe by then there will be plans for a conference, if not, we see. - Carsten On Thu, Mar 13, 2014 at 8:55 PM, Eric Schulte wrote: > Here's an impractical option.

Hi all,

one question that was asked: = =C2=A0How much donations come in? =C2=A0That varies. Some month it is $10, = occasionally it can be $100.

What Bastien and I ha= ve done in the past is use this money in a more or less private way. =C2=A0= I think Bastien has at some point replaced his laptop in this way, and all = in all I have done the same, I think. =C2=A0This felt OK previously, but it= is not longer the right thing as far as I am concerned.

I have seen a few good ideas here.

=
1. Send it to the FSF. =C2=A0That is a possibility, but lets first try= to do something more Org specific

2. A Mug for ev= ery contributor. =C2=A0Stretches the available budget, and is work.
We could make a list of contributors and start from the most commits o= r something.

3. Help organise a conference. =C2=A0= That would be a very good goal. =C2=A0Are there any plans to organise a con= ference?

4. Redistribute to the most active developers for light= ing up their day.

I propose the following: =C2=A0S= tarting March 1, I will report here the donations I get once a month, and w= e will keep track of it and find a good way to spend it. =C2=A0So far this = month: $66. =C2=A0Lets revisit the discussion in 2 or three months. Maybe b= y then there will be plans for a conference, if not, we see.

Maybe buy every contributor an Org-mode mug?
