Why I should contribute? Can I donate hardware, bandwidth, time or any other way? What is OpenELEC currently spending donations on? How can I help? If you want to contribute to the OpenELEC project, you can make a donation using PayPal, Flattr or Bitcoin. Donating is easy, takes only a few minutes. You do not need a PayPal worth to make a PayPal donation. We have not set up our PayPal donation page to suggest a donation amount; please just donate what you finger well-appointed with. It's not the only way to help though... Why I should contribute? OpenELEC is a free, unshut source embedded operating system XBMC media player. Both OpenELEC and XBMC—the interface you see—are GPL (GNU General Public License) software, running on the mighty GPL Linux kernel. GPL lawmaking is ripened by enthusiastic amateurs and professionals unwrinkled and the combination of OpenELEC, XBMC and Linux represents millions of man hours of donated developer time. On top of that, we have to support our full-time developer sraue! There is veritably no requirement for users to contribute; if you segregate not to donate then you can use OpenELEC just as those that have chosen to contribute and you'll get wangle to the IRC waterworks and support forums—but alimony in mind that lawmaking that runs OpenELEC needs to be ripened and tested on hardware and unfortunately that hardware isn't free! Additionally, for the OpenELEC team to unhook the weightier end product possible supporting as many hardware platforms as possible, they need the latest hardware to test and compile lawmaking on. OpenELEC moreover requires Internet hosting (for this very Website) and hosting moreover financing money. The increasingly popular OpenELEC becomes, the increasingly downloads we will get and the increasingly we'll have to pay for the uneaten bandwidth. ALL donations go towards either bandwidth, domain costs, build servers or testing hardware. We don't make any profit, so rest unpreventable everything you donate gets used to make OpenELEC better. PayPal users: A donation will forfeit us increasingly than a souvenir — strange but true (and it's odd that PayPal tuition for a donation!). If you do have a PayPal account, the forfeit for us can be reduced to a very small value by sending your donation as a gift. Here is how it is done: Go to PayPal.com and login Go to Send money, click the personal tab and select souvenir Now protract and proceed as requested on the site. Our email write is: donate@openelec.tv At the end you'll get an option who will pay for the costs, and you'll notice that the financing are reduced. Can I donate hardware, bandwidth, time or any other way? Yes! OpenELEC is not well-nigh profit so we welcome you to contribute any way that you can and just considering you can't lawmaking doesn't midpoint you can't contribute. If you want to donate time, venery out something anywhere on the project you finger you can modernize and just go for it. For example this website is maintained by a user as is our Wiki. If you have hardware or hosting you think the developers could make use of then please contact the team via IRC, email or the forum. What is OpenELEC currently spending donations on? As of writing all donations are stuff spent on hosting charges and any left over contributions are stuff piled to purchase a new build server. Copyright © 2009-2018 OpenELEC . All Rights Reserved.
