[hackerspaces] Fundraising for FLOSS non-profit accounting software

[Danny O'Brien]

I thought this might be something that many here would see as a
worthwhile project to donate money toward:

http://sfconservancy.org/campaign/

    Conservancy has a plan to help all non-profit organizations (NPOs)
    by creating an Open Source and Free Software accounting system
    usable by non-technical bookkeepers, accountants, and non-profit
    managers. You can help us do it by donating now.

    To keep their books and produce annual government filings, most NPOs
    rely on proprietary software, paying exorbitant licensing fees. This
    is fundamentally at cross purposes with their underlying missions of
    charity, equality, democracy, and sharing.

    You can help Conservancy fix this problem by donating now. We seek
    to raise $75,000 to employ a developer for one year to make
    substantial progress on this project.

Note that this first year will concentrate on US non-profit
requirements, "Conservancy seeks to lead an international effort, and
welcomes contributions and input from everyone in the non-profit
community from around the world. Conservancy has created a mailing list
for discussion of this project and encourages interested parties from
around the world to join the mailing list and contribute to the
project!"
