Although I would also like to see the possibility of buying polo shirts, T-shirts and possibly other things, such as a mug, that could be used to donate the project, we must first discuss the legal status of the project and accounting. Some time ago, we agreed with Tim to hand over the role of project leader - see http://trinity-devel.pearsoncomputing.net/?0::16035 Services that were on the original server are gradually migrated, but for example the "Donations" page is still unchanged. This means that donations work, but nowhere is it known how these donations are used. Thanks to the fact that we received a donation of a physical machine from Integricloud (Tim), a donation of a virtual machine from vpsFree.org, we have contributors who manage mirrors, we continue to work on the project without having any own funds. However, it is time to discuss the situation and find a solution. My idea is that we should have transparent accounting so that we can accept donations and at the same time see what purposes they are used for. Since we are currently busy preparing the release of TDE R14.0.8, I would like to discuss these things after the release of the new version. Therefore, I want to pause this discussion until then.
