How do I donate?

Post by PatrickCulliton »

Hi,

I have searched the main site, source forge and this forum but cannot find a donate link. I did a Google search for 'freecad donate' but how I be sure it's not dudes retirement fund? Can someone point me the right direction?

Apologies in advance if I have missed an obvious link.

P.

Hello Patrick.

At the moment there is no funding.
Previous discussion here.

But since christmas is nearing ... you could produce some t-shirts like mentioned
in the thread linked ...

Don't forget to post pictures, especially if you give the t-shirts to good looking girls ... :mrgreen:

Honestly, contributing with time rather than with money would be more useful to the project at this point.

There is a page accessible from the SourceForge FreeCAD page:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/free-cad/

On the Menubar containing:
Summary-Files-Reviews-Support-External Link-Code-Mailing Lists

...select External Link -> Donate, which will fire off a URL:
http://sourceforge.net/p/free-cad/donate/?source=navbar

...which gets us to a PayPal site in German, with no obvious way to serect Engrish ranguage. Now what?

Hm funny... I tried changing the /de/ in the paypal donation url with /en/ and it stays in german... Well done paypal :)
Maybe we should ask Jürgen to change that page indeed.

The funny thing about the German pay pal page is, that it only allows me to donate in US Dollar.

I tried that too, I also tried just deleting "/de/" thinking that it might go to an English default ...but no it stays in German.

I tried selecting Australia in the countries drop down list, and go a warning message .... since its all in German, I don't know what it means.


I didn't realise that page was there...the last time I looked for the donate link at Sourceforge I did not find it....it probably was there, just I did not find it.
