I posted a recap of my experience at <a href="http://pinstack.blogspot.com/2009/06/anime-boston-2009-recap.html">http://pinstack.blogspot.com/2009/06/anime-boston-2009-recap.html</a><div>let me know what you think =]</div> <div><br></div><div>Also, would we want to consider paying for a copy of the Ubunchu manga to be distributed in the Anime Boston registration bags? It would be expensive, i'm sure, but we have a year to raise money and it will certainly reach a hung audience. There's also the option of getting a booth. It'd probably be good to have more anime-related ubuntu stuff if we do that though. </div> <div><br></div><div><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Jun 15, 2009 at 09:16, Danny Piccirillo <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:danny.piccirillo@ubuntu.com">danny.piccirillo@ubuntu.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;"> Looking for Fundable alternatives, i wandered through some of the following pages and options...<div><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threshold_pledge" target="_blank">http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Threshold_pledge</a></div> <div><a href="http://www.micropatronage.org/wiki/Tools" target="_blank">http://www.micropatronage.org/wiki/Tools</a></div> <div><a href="http://micropledge.com/" target="_blank">http://micropledge.com/</a></div><div><a href="http://www.pledgebank.com/" target="_blank">http://www.pledgebank.com/</a></div><div><br></div><div>Finally, i came upon The Point, which does everything Fundable did and more (and collects only 5% instead of 10%).

There wasn't that functionality on Fundable which was another downside. For this, i managed it personally because it was sort of my project (not to take ownership of it, but it made the most sense for the money to go to me). Other projects would probably make more sense to go through a group account, but i think it's an issue we can deal with as it comes up<div> <div></div><div><br> <br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jun 11, 2009 at 16:31, Martin Owens <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:doctormo@gmail.com" target="_blank">doctormo@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="border-left:1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204);margin:0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex;padding-left:1ex"> Thinking about fund raising and all that jaz, Danny do you think that<br> funds should go through the group accounts or are you willing to manage<br> the money personally?<br> <br> Interesting problem.<br> <div><br> On Thu, 2009-06-11 at 14:47 -0400, Danny Piccirillo wrote:<br> > Thank's mike for donating but i'm going to delete this and use Paypal.<br> > Fundable is a great idea, but i don't think it's going to work out.<br> > The two worst things i've discovered is that all fundraisers have 26<br> > days to be met, and they collect 10% of successful goals.
