How involve more developers?

[Stefano_Zamboni]

I’d say no, but you’d know the reason, mate

[alefattorini (Alessio Fattorini)]

I’d like to move this discussion on a separated thread, so we can talk about Stephdl’s modules and how to a build sustainable way for development.
What do you think Steph?

[alefattorini (Alessio Fattorini)]

@stephdl

I displayed a paypal button on each module page I did, the link is to my mirror https://mirror.de-labrusse.fr. Of course it is not a safe way, someone could change the url to direct to a personal paypal account.

Great move, I try to push the things harder.

Stephdl needs our love

I want to ask the whole community to make a donation to @Stephdl repository! This man deserves all our acknowledgment and help. [image] I’ll tell you more, every donator will receive a NethServer shirt! Because if you give money to Steph you really LOVE NethServer [image]

[alefattorini (Alessio Fattorini)]

Just a quick update about this, because an agreement has been reached.

Nethesis will pay Steph’s modules integrated into the core/iso: password and diag-tools.
The main reason is that, integrating them into the core, potential @stephdl’s profits have been blocked.
When a module is integrated into the core it’s pushed also in the enterprise version, so it’s fair to pay him for that.

In the future it’s possible that Nethesis will ask him or others to integrate some modules, asking the permission and estimated cost.

Regarding other modules, Steph is free to be paid for them but he currently wisely chose the donation way.
So as I said, help him making a donation

I hope it could be a sustainable way to help NethServer contributors.

Really excellent work @alefattorini and @stephdl!!!

[robb (Rob Bosch)]

Congrats @stephdl. you deserve this support. All those hours of dedication (and no doubt: fun) do pay off and get rewarded. Besides this very generous gesture of the company behind the NethServer project, you for sure deserve our eternal gratitiude!

[Jim]

It’s seem a good compromise…
A great deal

@stephdl That’s the right way, you deserve it.

I think the decision regarding Steph goes in the right direction.
