Does he still want donations if he's retiring from active development? If so I will add a button to my website. Also will he still be selling CDs?

I would think that donations would be welcomed. There have to be ongoing expenses for the Puppy community, forums, wiki etc. With all of the north american puppy users, I would think that a north american mailing address, p.o. box would be useful, helpful. I have just recently become active in the puppy community, and don't know how this is currently being addressed.

Barry And Eric- www.puppylinux.ca deserve donations, Eric by far pays the most for his repo and has the highest overhead, I might not agree with a coop but I do agree the www.puppylinux.ca does have on going cost like no other member and should be given donations, and that the server usage that eric allows all of us as a community is very generous of him. Thanks Eric :wink:

Resolved.

ttuuxxx...I want to move the .ca project into community control including domain name ownership.

I also want a core to handle donations...and not to me but where ever money is needed. It may be needed for a new computer part for a developer or space on a high end server or help with someones costs for school...this is what a co-op can do.

Not quite the response I had hoped for, can we please try to address the topic rather than the individual posts. Puppy is a great os and the only one of it's kind. It is the work of many that contribute what they have to contribute. In my case, I appreciate all of the effort that made puppy available for me to download and use. I don't have technical knowledge, or even experience to contribute. Still, I would like to be a part of and contribute to this great endeavor.
Cheers

Best,
Eric

I would donate to the Puppy Linux project. IMO, it's a great project and it's so fast and portable, and it has none of the bloat that the main Linux distros have.

When I used it at first, I was like "Bleh, the GUI is horrible!" but now, I'm using it every day and saying "Goodbye KDE/Gnome, hello JWM".

DSL vs Puppy. Who is the winner? Puppy. Puppy booted quickly, as DSL hung on modprobe probing my laptop's USB half-a-dozen times.

Actually, when I have a spare few dollars (say $10 or so), I'll donate. I would love to see this project continue and make it a rising star of Linux Distros.

Are there any issues sending mail from the USA to Australia that I should be aware of?

Western Union?

Hope this helps.

It's not the size of the donation , it's the thought.
Puppy is the only freebie that I donate to.

Barry's effort has been so serious

#36 Post by Enrique Corbellini »

I understand the gived arguments, but i cannot forget that Barry should have the same rights that Bill Gates has.
Bill is not as Barry in anything at all, not as a worker, not as a software developer, not as a solution-giver to computer's users. Jesus, not as anything. :shock:
Bill has lots of money, is that the right Barry should have? to have money?
not exactly, because Bill has other much more important right: to decide about the future of the computers. He has the key to that future, and that key is not the software, it's the hardware.
Because for Bill, the software is the excuse to make agreements with hardware developers. He needs that to preserve his handling over the world's market. :evil:
There is no future in developing more and more software without considering the hardware problem.
Let's start giving hardware solutions, FREE hardware, step by step, as we did in the past with software, and we'll soon see the doors of definitive victory. :wink:

Here is something they are doing at Pclinuxos. Might be a good idea for Puppy. The easier it is to contribute, the better.

You need to embed urls inside [url][/url] tags on this forum or they just show up as text.

Bligh you need to ensure there is no blank space at the end of the url
- otherwise you get

Code: Select all

[url]http://pupweb.org/desktop/  [/url]
instead of:
http://pupweb.org/desktop/

because we all need a hand I have edited
your post to remove the space :)
