Bountysource

Hi guys,

Does anyone know about Bountysource? Is it still a way to help the Project? I read a couple of post from Simon Steinbeiß but I didn't understand if they left that service, so far I saw the page is still active on Bountysource...

Thanks,

D.

Re: Bountysource

Please note that this change does not affect the Xfce Team account. We haven’t decided what our next step will be there but for the time being we will leave things as they are. So you can still donate to the Team and we can withdraw that money to use it for the project (footnote: we have not withdrawn anything so far).

There's been no update on that, only that issue bounties have supposedly been returned to individuals who sponsored them.

So... probably safe, but if you're thinking about a larger contribution it might be worth messaging a team member on Twitter? As far as I know they're not active on this forum.

Re: Bountysource

The most inmediate way would be the #xfce IRC channel: https://webchat.freenode.net/

If that fails, I think you can reach some of the core team in the mailing lists: https://mail.xfce.org/mailman/listinfo

Also, as denyer said, there's Twitter: https://twitter.com/xfceofficial

Good luck!

Re: Bountysource

Update: A fellow user in #xfce has pointed me to the right IRC channel; #xfce-dev

but the devs are not in here, they are over in #xfce-dev

Re: Bountysource

I reached them on IRC and they confirmed they will use BS until further notice...
