Пожертвования
Существую так же другие способы как помочь проекту (документирование, перевод на другие языки).
Варианты
- Существует официальный аккаунт команды FreeCAD; пожертвуйте с помощью кредитной карты, Paypal или банковского перевода SEPA. Любые деньги, полученные здесь, делятся поровну между перечисленными разработчиками. Это лучший вариант, так как он напрямую помогает разработчикам.
- Существует Bountysource аккаунт; пожертвуйте деньги на проект FreeCAD в целом или предложите "награду" за решение конкретной проблемы или ошибки. Это интересный вариант, потому что ваше пожертвование может быть использовано конкретно в определенной области. Однако использование денег из источника вознаграждений является для нас более сложным процессом, и может возникнуть задержка между пожертвованием и эффективным использованием вашего пожертвования.
- Support the web hosting costs by donating directly to Jürgen Riegel's paypal account. Jürgen is the original developer of FreeCAD.
- Some developers will do a specific task for money or can be sponsored to spend time working on FreeCAD. There have been a couple of successful experiments in the past, such as the Path Workbench or Ian Rees's funding experiment. At the moment, the following developers can be sponsored:
- Yorik via Patreon or Liberapay (Draft, Arch, BIM, IFC)
- Kurt Kremitzki via Patreon or Liberapay (infrastructure, servers, packaging, Debian/Ubuntu)
- Lei Zheng aka Realthunder via PayPal, Liberapay or Patreon (App Link, Assembly3)
- Lorenz aka looooo via Liberapay (FCGears workbench, Conda packaging)
- Amritpal Singh aka amrit3701 via Liberapay or Patreon (Rebar addon)
- Brad Collette aka sliptonic via Liberapay or Patreon (Path Workbench)
Работы
- There might be other developers interested in doing specific work for the project; if you would like to accelerate the development of an idea or feature, consider employing a developer. It's up to you to build up an idea, discuss it on the forum, and find developers interested in doing it. You can offer a job in the Job offers subforum.
- Modelling jobs are also welcome. Not every experienced FreeCAD user is a developer. Experienced users can help you migrate your projects to FreeCAD, which contributes with popularizing the software in organizations. See FreeCAD used in production.
Ситуация
At the moment FreeCAD is a very small project with a limited team of developers. Most of us have day jobs, and work on FreeCAD during our free time. Having more money would not change this situation significantly. However, some of us have a more flexible work schedule where money can make a difference.
There is also the problem that we have no structure (foundation, association, NGO, etc.) to collect money. Setting up such a structure represents a huge effort (lawyer, accountant, reports, administrative tasks). The small team of FreeCAD would spend all its time doing this instead of developing, even if we could collect enough money to support it. This article explains the problem pretty well. We are however evaluating joining an umbrella organization, which may remedy the situation greatly.
This is the time of crowdfunding, where all kinds of projects and ideas can sometimes raise a lot of money and interest. Why not invent something new that could be done for FreeCAD with money, or help with finding better solutions? Feel free to discuss it on the forum, About funding and all that.
