From justdave at bugzilla.org Wed Nov 21 18:21:34 2007 From: justdave at bugzilla.org (David Miller) Date: Wed, 21 Nov 2007 13:21:34 -0500 Subject: The Bugzilla Project is now accepting donations! Message-ID: <4744772E.4070808@bugzilla.org> Frank Hecker over at the Mozilla Foundation has just posted about the Foundation?s new directed giving program , which now includes the ability to earmark money for the Bugzilla project when you donate. This has been a long time coming, and is exciting to us on the Bugzilla Team! Every so often we?ve had people coming into IRC or asking on our mailing lists where they could donate money and we?ve never really had anything to point them at other than our T-shirts in the Mozilla Store, or the Foundation?s donation page, which didn?t provide any way to say you wanted the money to go to Bugzilla. Well, now there?s somewhere to go where the money will actually get back to the Bugzilla project. You can visit Bugzilla's donations page at and make a tax-deductible donation. Any use of the money will need to be approved by the Mozilla Foundation. We are likely to use it for such things as funding attendance to conferences for Bugzilla developers, bug bounties, and possibly other ideas the Foundation thinks will help further the Bugzilla Project. Many thanks to the Mozilla Foundation for setting up this wonderful opportunity for us! And if you don't have money to spend, there's lots of other ways you can help! Visit our "How to Contribute" page at to learn how to contribute other resources such as documentation, UI design, release support, quality assurance and testing, helping other users use Bugzilla, translating Bugzilla to other languages, and more! -- Dave Miller http://www.justdave.net/ System Administrator, Mozilla Corporation http://www.mozilla.com/ Project Leader, Bugzilla Bug Tracking System http://www.bugzilla.org/
