BTW, opencollective.com has a link to windfair.net listed in your backer profile, but it links via https, and windfair.net seems to be http only, so clicking on the link fails to connect.

On the Open Collective page should be mentioned, that it just has started. So no one wonders that so far only a few are listed. Additionally you should ensure to transfer the names "automatically" or periodically to https://dlang.org/foundation/sponsors.html And last but not least place a small donate button on every page page! With 500 people participating in the survey there should be the chance to boost up the impact of D with more manpower and money. Regards mt. |

Good idea! The description at OpenCollective itself needs some work too :/ > Additionally you should ensure to transfer the names "automatically" or periodically to > https://dlang.org/foundation/sponsors.html That's already in the queue: https://github.com/dlang/dlang.org/pull/2273 > And last but not least place a small donate button on every page page! Not sure whether that's a good idea, it might look a bit needy. We already have a donate button on the front page since a few weeks though. > With 500 people participating in the survey there should be the chance to boost up the impact of D with more manpower and money. Yeah, the idea is that 5$ a month isn't much (~ one coffee in most countries), but if 500 people donate one coffee a month, you get the entire coffee machine with a warp engine :) |

I think it is not wrong to ask for money, if you make clear what it will be used for. So only "please donate" is not good.

Sorry to derail, but I had to ask: where does 1 coffee (even extra large) cost $5 USD? Let me know so I know to never move there.

Let me know so I know to never move there. Have you ever been to Starbucks (or similar companies)? Even in Germany which is among the cheapest Western European countries they charge 5$ (~4€) for a cup of coffee: http://www.fastfoodpreise.de/preisliste/starbucks.html For example, in Sweden it's even more expensive: https://www.quora.com/What-is-the-average-price-of-a-cup-of-Starbucks-coffee-in-Sweden Anyhow, it was just an analogy. Maybe you prefer one beer as a better analogy? (though in Germany that's often cheaper than one cup of coffee) |

At the current exchange rate, a venti-sized cup of drip coffee at Starbucks in Korea is $4.51. When I go to GA, it's cheaper. A venti Americano is $4.79. But I think when people talk about $5 coffees, they're referring to lattes and all the other forms of polluted espresso abominations people drink.

On second thought, maybe I'll move to Germany. I'll suffer expensive coffee in exchange for cheap beer ;-)
