In my experience micro-funding never worked to raise more than a meager
100 EU in a year. But then maybe I just didn't do it right... It seems
to work for mediagoblin with the help of the FSF
http://mediagoblin.org/pages/campaign.html fingers crossed!

altough 60K $ sound like a lot for a single project,
but its already at 5k after short!

in this thread, after my financial-crisis outing, there was no answer
after the initial complaint of removing google ads from dyne:bolic
should I also apologize for my mediterranean temper maybe?

Now I'll revamp the discussion with an offer :^) plz help making a
fundraising campaign like this one (if it works...) for our project and
if it succeeds (lets say, can be a first step goal of 10k) all non-free
ads from dynebolic.org will be removed forever.

sounds like a deal? :) hey I'm trying to be constructive here..

wow. this sounds very cool. I was reading "ours to master and to own"
book by I.Ness and D.Azzellini on these stories. We had some also in
Italy, once.
