[Mageia-discuss] keep on donate or AUFML full transparency

[Olivier Méjean]

Hello there !!

Following my previous news about donation, on friday, let's refresh them !

About paypal, you may have noticed that our paypal account has been limited. 
Yes, guys, it was your fault !!! You were so in hurry to give to mageia 
project that paypal asked us some informations. I phoned paypal, i sent paypal 
many documents, our vice-treasurer's phoned paypal and yesterday we were 
pleased to know that our paypal account was verified so no more limitation, we 
can overtake the limit of 2000€, and it is overtaken.

While talking about paypal, you know that paypal take a commission on each 
donation. A the moment, donations arise at 2972.79€ but commission removed the 
donations are 2851.9€, a bit more than 4% of commission (well the real 
commission of a fixed amount plus a percentage of the amount). Donations using 
paypal are ranging from 3 to 500€

Bank transfert allows to get 1810€ and bank check 75€, to give 4736.9€


The announcement is translated into 10 languages, good job but i guess Maât, 
who's in charge of the page, is underemployed so let's get him some nice job 
by adding new languages! For example, what about greek , finnish, swedish (or 
norvegian?), russian, chinese, serbian announcements? Yes !! So translators, 
have a look at http://donate.mageia.org/ translate it and send it and Maât 
will be very happy to add new languages. Oh by the way, if there is another 
language I did not talk about, feel free to translate too! To end with, Maât 
you are really a nice guy ;-), dear members of Mageia don't forget to 
congratulate him, he likes it :þ

We are still waiting for the creation of Mageia association and the bank 
account to give the donations to Mageia. I guess it will take some days, but 
no problem for us, we will still be happy to help receiving donations.

I was about to forget, as Maât said in a previous mail, « Mageia IS definetely 
the answer to the Ultimate Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life,
The Universe, and Everything »
