The problem is that it takes *months* to prepare a proper crowdfunding campaign. So if you didn't suggest crowdsupply to me back at the hackfest, it was simply *too late* to be reasonably actionable (despite that I might agree it would be a good idea). I hadn't realized others had used indiegogo to crowdfund for your travel though. Were there lessons learned from that we should know about? https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/richard-stallman-s-air-ticket-to-speak-in-south-africa/x/8947753 -- Christian _______________________________________________ foundation-list mailing list foundation-list@gnome.org https://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/foundation-list
