$1500/month in donations? Yeah I'm going to go out on a limb and say the donation model doesn't work for open source.

- timattrn 7y agothis isn't open source, it's media. I am/was a LJ subscriber, sad to see it go, but I don't feel starved of similar material.
- chimprich 7y agoI think FOSS has not sufficiently explored the donation model. I'd be keen to donate a decent amount of cash to get some fundamental improvements to Emacs, for example. Lots of developers are relatively well paid and use a lot of free tools.
