I've decided to open up for donations to the umbraco project and at the same time made some simple
guidelines when using umbraco for commercial purposes. I've taken this decision to ensure that I can spend most of my time on the contentious development of umbraco. There are so many exciting challenges and ideas in the horizon and I can't wait to seize them.
Through the last couple of years I've learned (the hard way) that I can't call me a businessman. My knack and motivation lies in the development and evangelism on umbraco. My original plan was to finance this through support contracts, but so far this hasn't generated enough income.
My experiences are that those who've bought support contracts have been very positive and also been pleasantly surprised on the potential and possibilities that umbraco offers. I've made it easier to buy support contracts online and I'll also make an effort to communicate the support possibilities better.
I've created pages at umbraco.org where you can read more on
donating money and how to
buy support contracts.
If you've any ideas or input, please let me know
through mail - or even better: Comment on this post!
