Marek Takes On MSAA Gallium3D Improvements

[Adarion]

I'll check my funds (being PhD student sucks, the salary is really really low for all the work you do) but I guess something between 10 or 20 Euros should be possible. For xmas so he can buy himself a beer, a humble indie bundle or whatever.

Ah there was a post meanwhile: Hey, cheese, don't speak to me. I am f-ing poor, but I put some donations here and there, or, if I just lack the money I do voluntary help on Linux exhibitions and the like. Helping preparations like cleaning and preparing the halls, making food, watching over a booth and answering questions from people that come by. Or just spending beer for devs that I meet on a LinuxTag (LinuxDay in Germany).

I like how it goes - many say "Thank you" but when it comes to actually supporting the developer everyone is rich with words, but not with actions. Guys, you suck great deal. Face it. :/

No wonder people helping opensource have to eat own nails in order to survive.

And you'll see he's got a link there for paypal donations.

Don't pool money. It's always a bad idea.

Pooling money is WONDERFUL idea. Its snow ball. And I am ready (acknowledging some will join) to pour my part into his paypal account.

So, how much can you donate now, Sidicas?

I don't need any videocards at the moment. Thanks anyway.

Okay.
It would be nice if recent 58xx, 68/69xx would get some of your attention.. just telling my humble user opinion.
Thank you!

Okay if he doesn't need a GPU right now I can still buy him a beer or something.
Still, if you happen to need some hardware, Marek, I think we will find some people here throwing together some money.

Adarion, you ok to donate 5€ (for beer)?

Yeah, that would be a nice idea. We could do a little "kickstarterish" thing and get some money together for Marek.

Don't pool money. It's always a bad idea. They pooled money for getting interest in an Android port of Cyanogenmod for the HP Touchpad and one of the newest devs, that contributed almost nothing to the project ran off with the whole pool in the first month.

Kickstarter I think isn't appropriate either as it has strings attached requiring the dev to actually deliver very specific goods in order to get the money.

I think direct donations, is by far, the best way

Marek, are there any videocards you need?

We should have done this already long ago.

I start. I have 25€ to offer right now.

Hamish, Necro, Adarion, Entropy, guys - if you are ready to offer something, so write it down please. Please vote.
