Hi Petr, I am glad to see such an offer advertised. I am not sure if you are aware, but we have recently set up a convenient way for people to sponsor development on their specific issues. Have a look at our "Sponsoring issues" [1] or see the introductory mail [2] I`ve sent about it to find out how it works. Basically, you have to: - Identify an existing issue (or create a new one, like your nuodb case suggests) on our www.jira.org issue tracker, - Press the green link under the "Sponsor This!" section you will be redirected to create an offer on the www.freedomsponsors.org website (make sure you are logged in there as well), - Specify the amount you are willing to sponsor for the development of that issue and finally - Wait for people to show interest. It probably helps grabbing people's attention with emails like the one you`ve just sent (but after creating a specific offer :) ), or getting on IRC to spear the word, my only request is that you try to use the freedomsponsors.org website so that it's both easier for people to find your offer but also for us to have a clear picture of how well this setup is working; if we should keep trying to use it, or not, etc. Great initiative and I hope to see many offers in the list [3] (from your and other members of our fine community) and many developers offering their help ;) Thanks, Eduard ---------- [1] http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Community/Contributing#HSponsoringissues [2] http://xwiki.markmail.org/thread/hswe4thhxkte3vfu [3] https://freedomsponsors.org/search/?s=xwiki On Thu, Nov 27, 2014 at 5:59 PM, Petr Simbera <PSimbera(a)seznam.cz> wrote:
