Donations to help Parabola team

Liberapay donations

Parabola accepts Liberapay donations since they are handled by Association Liberapay, the French nonprofit foundation that is a recurrent donations platform whose primary goal is to fund the commons, particularly Free Software.

This account funds our developers and artists who are now working full-time on Parabola. We think that our developers and artists that are working full-time should be paid a reasonable living wage amount for their efforts, and any excess could be given as bounty to part-time volunteers for fixing complex bugs, and/or to help grow the much needed infrastructure.

In what way will my donation help Parabola?

Parabola is run by volunteers, and we've been happy to include more people in our community whenever we need to share the work load, but sometimes we need to cover some expenses, such as:

  • Servers (currently only one donated by n1md4, thank him if you see him around) :)

And some projects need special hardware which we aren't able to buy:

  • ARMv7 boards
  • Build servers, so we can build faster and securely

Also:

  • Paid hackers (they won't have to earn their wages by working anywhere else and would have dedicated time to fix long standing bugs and effort to Parabola)
  • A(nother) libre project can become sustainable

Thanks!
