GNUe is primarily a volunteer project, with people either volunteering their time, or working on GNUe as a part of their normal jobs, or both. However, we do need funds for things like getting some better marketing materials printed and getting us in more trade shows. We would also like to look at seeding some merchandise creation so that we can start get funds to do more to support GNUe.
There are several ways you can help GNU Enterprise to raise funds, including some that don't necessarily cost you anything...
For those that are not familiar with The Linux Fund, it is a non-profit designed to try to raise money to put in the hands of Free/Open Software projects to help their development. It gets its funds from an "affinity" credit card.
Anyone can register at the Linux Fund web site, and get some "penguin pesos" to award to projects seeking funding. Although the Development Board are ultimately resposible for deciding on the allocation of grants, they do take into account the views of the general Free Software community, as expressed in their penguin peso allocations.
So now we ask please register at Linux Fund and put some penguin pesos to vote for GNU Enterprise.
Afferro " is working to bring a culture of Patronage to the free exchange of information and support on Internet." The idea is that, if you get helped by an Afferro member, you can say thank you by donating, via Afferro, to a Free Software project they support. You can help GNU Enterprise through Afferro in two ways:
Furthermore since we are part of the Free Software Foundation you can make donations directly the Free Software Foundation and note that you want the money to go to the GNU Enterprise project. It is tax deductible in the United States of America.
