Title: Please support FET with a sponsorship/bounty
Post by: Liviu Lalescu on August 26, 2009, 12:27:26 PM
The title says it all. I have really big problems because I have only to live out of the few donations. I need users or institutions to support me financially, more than until now. If you are interested into this project, into its survival, maybe you can reconsider a better financial support.

I am in a difficult situation at home and relying on family support (which will not lost much longer), which I think is not a nice situation for me. I really cannot support my material living anymore.

I would like to keep this project alive, as a free software, but I really see no future in this direction, only if you or some larger organization will support me.

I have a proposal for our school, but I can't do anything until I go back to work in september. Sorry for being so little help. I'll write back in september with more info.

This is very bad news. I have put a request in to the department for some financial support for this project. Unfortunately, I'm not optimistic as they pretty much hate spending money.

I urge everyone reading this to donate or sponsor a feature as Volker suggested, we spend >60 euros on playstation games and >40 euros when we go out drinking.

I have been unemployed myself and it was not fun. Don't give up, do your best.

I reiterate my request for financial support for FET. My situation is getting desperate. So, try to convince your institution or higher ranked people to support this project with a sponsorization.
