I just had a quick question on how to support Lubuntu
financially. I have looked everywhere but I have not found
anywhere a way to send money for Lubuntu development.<br>
I feel it is a good thing to pay for software even it is free.<br>
Many others like LibreOffice do offer that option.<br>
May be you could let me know if that is possible.<br>
Thx for your help, Roman<br>

There are several "problems" to set up Financial support :<br>
- Do we, as an Ubuntu derivative, can receive financial support ? We
depends on Ubuntu, and on some of their resources (ISO building,
help from Canonical developpers ...), so why just take the money for
us ? They deserve it also (at least, part of it).<br>
- Do we, as a distribution, can receive financial support ? We
"just" takes some pieces from the open source world (kernel, gcc,
LXDE, Xorg ...). so why just take the money for us ? They deserve it
also<br>
- And finally, how to use it ? Pay people who develop ? But why not
people who test ? Who spread the Lubuntu word ? Everyone deserve it.<br>
<br>
I'm quite uncomfortable when we talk about this. It's IMO a very
sensitive topic.<br>
<br>
If I have to give my opinion, I'll organize it like this :<br>
- Give a part to other free software application we used : first
LXDE, after Ubuntu, Debian, and other small projects (like Sylpheed,
Gnome-Mplayer ...). <br>
- Keep the rest to organize events where people from Lubuntu team
can work on Lubuntu (like hackfest, or documentation workshop etc
...).<br>
Problem is to find the good % for each one :)<br>
