hello
Post by Lew PitcherIf you are so inclined, send Slackware some money (Pat Volkerding's
patreon account would be the place these days); that might speed things
up a bit.
yes please, anyone who can, send money to Patrick Volkerding; i'm sure
plenty of happy slackers have some extra dollars to send. if so, be
kind, and help the infrastructure and this great work!
but please, anyone, don't say that money will "speed things". since
when virtual/paper money actually helped to speed anything? it's just
"money", it doesn't make people stronger, more efficient, more
healthier, or extend the days so you have more time with your family.
it help, in many ways, but it doesn't speed things at all. plus, after
all this time, if anyone knows the story of slackware, i'm sure Patrick
Volkerding, and the DevTeam, don't do it for money.
money is important since we live in the world we're living in, but
don't put money as a lever to speed some slackware release. i've read
so many times "send money, and it'll go faster" but that's not true.
we need to send money to help because slackware is an old community ran
by an ordinary team/man whose work resonates all over the world. so,
yes, sending money helps them/him to bear the loads.
we all read about the slackware store issue (to say the least) some
years ago. but even that didn't stop Patrick Volkerding and the team
to hang on. even in those dark times, they continued the hard work.
yes, send money, it's important, but anyone who's reading this, don't
expect a slackware new realease before "it's time". it's not ubuntu
company here, nor debian worldwide association. it's just a handle of
good people making the best they can because they think it is good for
the common good and, hopefully, they have fun making it!
