My complaint is that they don't come here at all. You would think that their first place to hang out would be on their own forum linked to on their own web site and hosted on their own domain name. I'm not talking about being able to contact the developers or decision makers but that the developers and decision makers are on.....ugh.......Reddit of all places.
And again my point is totally missed. I wouldn't compare Gates and Jobs to the people I mentioned either
The NSA has not provided any financial contributions to the Foundation.
We'll all just regular people who love FreeBSD!
This is a great suggestion! Email to info@freebsdfoundation.org with your feedback and suggestions. The Foundation recently changed the online donation service. I'll have to look into it, but asking to upgrade to monthly is new. It's possible this is something through the third-party application. Otherwise, the questions at the beginning are to allow donors the option to make their donation one-time or recurring, feedback in the comments, and on behalf or in memory of someone. The options I see listed are similar to our previous online donation platform, but we are always open to feedback and improvements! We don't want to make this a pain for people who want to support the Foundation's work. Regarding providing the donor's name, it is required for the US tax system. If someone chooses to make their donation anonymous or opt out of the newsletter, that is completely honored.
Yes. Email your question to info@freebsdfoundation.org. The web interface makes it easier for most folks. But, people do mail checks, send wire transfers, and go through PayPal directly.
Thank you! We'll have to look into why it asks twice. Donor's names are listed unless the donor opts out. Most folks like to show their support for FreeBSD.
I'm posting here.
It's difficult to keep on top of all the platforms, but I try. The best way to provide feedback to the Foundation is through email: info@freebsdfoundation.org. Why am I on reddit? It's the best place for me to get running information!Your point wasn't missed. It's that you like one project, and the others aren't open source. It's about ego, but you will make every excuse, and justificetion, to say it's not. It is like asking Bill Gates or Steve jobs to chat with their customers on their products.
Does that mean this place is not a good place?
Now you're even farther off the mark than I thought. In fact, to the point of making things up! If you want to do that, go join the clowns on Reddit
That's exactly what I thought when I read it. And note her exclamation mark. She really does mean it. Right, dgoodkin ?
Wait - are the FreeBSD Forums a good place for getting information about marathons and trail races? I'm already on Reddit because that's the best place for me to get information on races I'm running. When I'm there, I usually check out the FreeBSD channel. The FreeBSD Forums is an excellent place for community engagement. I should check it out more often, since it's a good place to understand users' challenges and issues. There are more technical folks from the Foundation on the forums.
That's my mistake. That wasn't my intention at all (I tend to use too many exclamation marks)! The real reason that I'm on reddit more is because I get a daily email summarizing discussions happening in the channels I follow. It's mostly running races that I follow. But, the email includes the FreeBSD channel, so I see what discussions are happening there too.
