having some means of making a donation

Post by blakblak »

I havnt seen a way of being able to make a donation - think this would be neat. Reason being I have installed on both my laptop and desktop and both are better than ever. I even found this link to install 32bit apps on a 64bit system http://www.hydronitrogen.com/374 so now I can use wine, and on the desktop the previous graphic problems have gone. So I just would like to make a donation to show my appreciation. :D

Hello,

Join the proposal. Let us know when a donation option is available so that we can support the distro.

Thanks, that is very kind of you.

At this moment, Salix OS is a spontaneous association of good will without a legal entity of its own which would permit it to receive material gratification of some kind. This will probably change at some point as Salix OS has proven it is here to stay and sooner or later, as a part of our natural growth, we may need to formalize things a bit.

When we do, then will we be able to do such things as raise funds by means of collecting donations, or selling some items or even some services which in turn will help pay for server costs, buy test and build machines, organize meetings and send delegations to Open Source gatherings, Linux trade shows and the like.

I'd be in..

Can't code, but I'm no freeloader by any means. :mrgreen:

Opps...this should be in the donations thread (See why I don't code :lol: )

EDIT: moved by moderator ;)

Edit: On further thought that post might not have been a good idea as it sorts of breaks up the team as a whole.

So I deleted it.

Oh well... We'll think of something. :)

Yes, I have many AMEX Gift Cards with small balances left that I would like to use for such, but PayPal does not allow. It would be good to be able to donate these many small balances which, cumulatively, is not insignificant.

You might possibly offer SalixOS merchandise via Cafe Press, Zazzle or some similar outlet, and encourage users to support their favorite OS by purchasing goods.

Just a thought.

By the way, have I told you guys I love you lately? No problems. None. Just smooth sailing and the occasional update. Thank you Slackware, and thank you Salix.
