A few days ago Tal Galili posted a message about some controversies concerning the future of R. Having read the discussions, especially those following Ross Ihaka's post, I have come to the conclusion, that, as usual, the problem is money. I doubt there would be discussions about dropping R in its present form if the R-Foundation were properly funded and could hire computer scientists,

Hi my name is Bob Mutch and I am the owner of Solutions with Service, a Canadian company that uses open source software products. I have started a project called ?Project SOS? (Support Open Source) to help fund free and open source software projects. I would like to make a donation to your open source work http://theora.org/ though our project. Here is the page that how the donations work.

Hello All, I want to ask about CentOS and money. Please do not start some kind of shitstorm over this, it isn't productive. I have just been looking at archive.org to see when the paypal option went missing from the donate menu at centos.org. I can't pin it down, but it was there on October 16, 2010 and isn't now, so that's the information I have on that point. There was a

All, Anyone who wishes to donate to the project can follow the directions for sending a check here: http://llvm.org/Funding.html If you can only pay by PayPal or credit card, PLEASE write to Vikram Adve (vadve at uiuc.edu) and ask him to update that page with the alternate payment details. FYI: while the T-Shirts provided at the meeting were "free", they were offered in the hope

Okay, it's a bit sad having to stoop to this, but I'm desperately trying to at least not have to shell out large amounts of my own money to get gear for Linux development... I'm thinking about setting up a PayPal account, but since there are some recent, ahem, issues with PayPal and security I'm a bit hesitant. I'd like to ask people if they would be inclined to donate

I was poking around, but I didn't spot a PayPal link for the t-shirts and/or supporting LLVM. Any follow-up from the pre-meeting discussions? -Gabe

Maybe what Centos needs is a bridal registry. Here in the US, an engaged couple can tell their friends what they'd like to be given as wedding presents. They do this by listing items in a registry, in various stores around town. Anyway, the idea is, post stuff you need in a list on your site. Say you need 20 hard drives, or a particular power supply, or whatever items that get consumed in

Well I must say. I certainly feel like a fool now. I have been contributing to Wine for about five months, and was shocked to see a blatant advertisement for CrossOver, who take the hard work of those who have contributed their intellect for free and sell it for profit, on your home page. I then discovered through your own FAQ that most Wine developers are employed by CrossOver. Is this legal?

Wine has reached the final round in the category: "Best Open Source of 2010" which gives a donation of EUR 300 to the winner. I recommend to vote for Wine (http://www.portalprogramas.com/software-libre/premios/proyecto/75)

I have a few thoughs and questions about donating to Xiph that I hop you have a minute for. Here we go: == "Who donated what" list == As it seems we don't have a "Who donated what" list. I thought creating such a list could increase motivation to donate to some parties. What I currently have in mind would be to start listing donations from now on below the current content

First, I hope that this message is not considered flame bait. As someone who has used FreeBSD for for 5+ years now, I have a genuine interest in the integrity of our source code. Second, I hope that this message is not taken as any form of insult or finger pointing. Software without bugs does not exist, and I think we all know that. Acknowledging that point and working to mitigate the risks

WAY TO GO, MIKE!! Hope you get your hole fixed. If you have any extra money after your operation, please send me $250,000. I need a new house. I never thought this would happen to me but termites have eaten my entire home. All I have left is a lamp and an end table. Please help me.

Hi, A few things I would like to see fixed in the short term: + Simplifying the frontpage. I gave a rationale on my blog why I think the frontpage should be more simple an structured. You can see the proposal here: http://wiki.centos.org/FrontPageProposal Ralph already criticized that there is too much text and I tend to agree. I would prefer to see an image instead and

Dear R developers---I just spent half a day debugging an R program, which had two bugs---I selected the wrongly named variable, which turns out to have been a scalar, which then happily multiplied as if it was a matrix; and another wrongly named variable from a data frame, that triggered no error when used as a[["name"]] or a$name . there should be an option to turn on that throws an

Great idea Dean, "I would also suggest that maybe instead of looking to set up within the disaster zones that you consider setting up in the relocation zone (eg where people are being sent to) yes they have payphones there but having a bank of 20 grandstream phones connected a T1 is a far smarter and more effective solution and probably more meaningful." > -----Original Message-----

Dear NUT Community, It's not something you've been used to from me, but... I've been funding the NUT infrastructure on my own for many years now. I'm currently in a situation that is a bit hard, financially speaking. I've recently renewed the networkupstools.org domain name. But now comes the server in itself (BaseInstance Cloud slice on Gandi). It's not that many bucks

>Would you users donate money if that was available? Even if it was $1? >I mean, 100k people donating $1 each could go a long way. Setting up some sort of tax-exempt organization (similar to the FSF) may be useful here. I don't mind chipping in my £1 worth, but getting a tax deduction at the same time would persuade more people to donate, I think.

There is a new Web Application Stack that I would like to get the RPMS for into CentOS Plus.
