Is there any decision about the donation programme? The Web page still says: "If you are looking to make a cash dontation to the CentOS Project, please check back here after August 15th, 2009." I assume that donations aren't refused, but is there a suggested amount, as there used to be? -- Yves Bellefeuille <yan at storm.ca> "Yves Bellefeuille: Eterna malvenkanto en UEA" -- Heroldo Komunikas, n-ro 389
Really funny, I was just thinking of this this morning as well! (Christmas spirit I guess, or the gratefulness for latest bunch of 5.4 updates...) I support the question and add: It there a way to get receipts, etc. in order to book such a donation as a company charge/expense? Is the target organization by chance somehow registered in the European Union?

Which essentially boils down to the fact that if you were to contribute some money as a financial donation, it would not get used for anything constructive and will not goto the project, it would goto one person - who may or may not even be doing any regular work in the project. so your assumption on this is actually wrong: financial donations are actively refused at this time. If either you or anyone else are contributing funds using any means, you should stop doing that. Regards, - KB
