| IrcsomeBot2 | <Sick_Rimmit> Just having one of my entrepreneurial ideas. | 09:35 |
|---|---|---|
| IrcsomeBot2 | <Sick_Rimmit> At the meeting on Friday we talked about paid developer positions, and I got to putting my thinking cap on | 09:36 |
| IrcsomeBot2 | <Sick_Rimmit> How about creating a membership club, where members contribute a monthly amount. I'm not thinking Patreon, but something more like nationbuilder.com - This provides for a central Kubuntu group, along with chapters ( or sub groups ) | 09:39 |
| IrcsomeBot2 | <Sick_Rimmit> Really it's designed for political parties, but there is so much overlap, we could use a toll like that for community growth, which is pretty much what a political party does. | 09:40 |
| IrcsomeBot2 | <Sick_Rimmit> The funds raised from the members gets used to develop our core, providing funding for growth and development. | 09:41 |
| IrcsomeBot2 | <Sick_Rimmit> Just a crazy idea at this point, but if the KC thinks it worth pursuing I can look into it in more detail. | 09:42 |
| IrcsomeBot2 | <tsimonq2> @Sick_Rimmit, I disagree with not using Patreon — it's a platform that many people recognize and are already on (including myself) and has shown great success for flavors like Ubuntu MATE, who get upwards of $1700 a month. | 17:05 |
| IrcsomeBot2 | <CliffordTheBigRedDoggie> Screws over people outside the US though | 17:44 |
| IrcsomeBot2 | <tsimonq2> Oh? | 17:44 |
| IrcsomeBot2 | <tsimonq2> Ubuntu MATE is a British project :P | 17:44 |
| IrcsomeBot2 | <CliffordTheBigRedDoggie> Depends what you do with the money | 17:47 |
| IrcsomeBot2 | <CliffordTheBigRedDoggie> Its fine for people in the US | 17:48 |
| IrcsomeBot2 | <Sick_Rimmit> It's worth looking at the nation holder link, it's much more than Paterson, it's about community development | 18:09 |
| clivejo | the EU see it as exporting a service so 20% VAT is payable | 18:40 |
| clivejo | 5% Transaction fee, 5% Patreon fee | 18:41 |
| clivejo | and then transfering $ to £ | 18:42 |
| IrcsomeBot2 | <tsimonq2> But the UK isn't part of the EU :P | 18:42 |
| IrcsomeBot2 | <tsimonq2> *runs* | 18:42 |
| clivejo | unfortunately it is | 18:43 |
| clivejo | if you do decide to go patreon, be better to setup a US part | 18:45 |
| IrcsomeBot2 | <ahoneybun> I'm still behind Patreon | 20:24 |
| IrcsomeBot2 | <tsimonq2> Same | 20:24 |
| IrcsomeBot2 | <tsimonq2> We actually agree on something :P | 20:24 |
| IrcsomeBot2 | <CliffordTheBigRedDoggie> if you do, let me recommend you :P | 20:26 |
| IrcsomeBot2 | <ahoneybun> The US think might be a issue but we can use a US bank and transfer. I know the convert rate will be a but off but it's possible | 21:00 |
| valorie | the tools all suck, for sure | 21:03 |
