This is certainly something that I might be interested in. I’m not sure how the other contributors feel about it and how funds would/could be distributed fairly. I like how this project is completely community ran. I know that some of my contributions to LibreTime have been subsidized through a work-trade agreement with my dad. But I’m not sure how we would handle the distribution of funds and whether it would make sense at this point without specific funders in mind. My only guess is that we might be able to get some kind of regular donations from users and people who found the software helpful and want to support the project, but this in and of itself is unlikely to provide a means of financial support.
I know going forward in my personal life I would be interested in having my livelihood and source of funds connected to a free software project vs. getting a full-time job and spending my free time on this or something else as a side project. At the same time my primary job at this moment is taking care of my daughter while my wife finishes her astrophysics degree and I’m trying to divide my limited free time between LibreTime and helping volunteer run WCRS-LP.
Thanks for showing up again Gus. I’d definitely welcome feedback from any other members of the LibreTime community.
