Hallo,

i was asked if i can present FET at the Software Freedom Day in
Berlin/Germany. (compare http://softwarefreedomday.org/ and
http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_Freedom_Day )
I don't have problems with preparing a stand with posters, a lecture about FET and answer questions at the stand.

But:
a) it will be pretty exhausting (espicialy answering questions allown the whole day at a stand.) So is there someone that want to help me, so we can share that work?

b) i must travel to Berlin and also stay overnight 2 time (before and
after that event.). That (ticket and room) will cost me (and maybe one
more; compare request a) some money. Anybody here that want to sponsor that?

Thank you
Volker

PS: Don't forget we still need other support.
Not only a small donation for "normal" FET work will be helpfully.
Also:
- translators
- testers (It also look like my unoffical version wasn't tested by anyone yet. that is why we decided to not include it into the next release. i can't see bugs, speedup in my attached samplefile is around 30-40% and my tests look fine, but it is a critical code and we need more test before we will include it. so please help testing.)

Hallo Volker
I would like to particpate, but I am in Morocco far awaay from Berlin
About the donation, I talked with Liviu about it: I am willing to do so, the problem is that we cant send money outside Morocco by regulations
for example, we cant use Ebay   >:(
so please tell me if there is anyone here in Morocco willing to transfert donation to you or to Livui, so I can send donation to him
Anyway, I am not desperate, I will try any possible mean to make donation
QuoteIt also look like my unoffical version wasn't tested by anyone yet
As you may know, I am using a custom version, so I cant really test it.
If you wish, I can  test it with any  files  from those samples included with FET

FET is a wonderfull program, a rare piece of softare, it deserves donation and support

Thank you. Easiest will be paypal. Have a look at Livius homepage.
I don't know other good ideas.
Maybe no money, maybe testing my unoffical version would be also fine.
i know you use a custum version. hmmm... i think it is very easy to add my source into that version. but i will do that only if your promise me to test much, because modifiing your version mean again ~1 hour work for me. (modifing source, compiling, just a quick test and uploading.) But maybe you haven't enought time (you need several hours (maybe even days) to get "good" tests to an sample. if you test more samples even more :-))
