Not sure how to measure time spent on job hours in contribution dollars. > ---------------- > Net Total: $50,924.19 > ---------------- So from 09-16 avg of ~$4.6k per year over 11 years. With that really being earned by people doing GSoC. Not the same as if Google donated a lump sum of money to further development per say the Councils plans. Only 1 hardware donation. I believe past sponsors such as GNi incurred costs in the ~$5k range monthly. I would assume some hosting sponsors to be averaging a few thousand at minimum per year. Just as an example. FreeBSD is seeking $1.25 Million in a fundraiser with $882k thus far. https://www.freebsdfoundation.org/ They seem to average in the hundreds of thousands every year in contributions https://www.freebsdfoundation.org/about/financials/ Always looked at FreeBSD when I was a Gentoo Trustee. Great foundation! Passed the 5 year probation period with IRS, and other stuff. -- William L. Thomson Jr.
