  <title>Donation: a way to help or just say thanks</title>

  <description>&lt;p&gt;For many years, when people asked us how can they help the project, our typical answer was something like &quot;just use it, file bugs, spread the word&quot;. Some people were asking specifically about how to donate money, and we had to say &quot;currently we don&apos;t have a way to accept&quot;, so it was basically &quot;no, we don&apos;t need your money&quot;. It was not a good answer. Even if &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.parallels.com/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;our big sponsor&lt;/a&gt; is generously helping us with everything we need, that doesn&apos;t mean your money would be useless.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Today we have opened a PayPal account to accept donations. Here:&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;form action=&quot;https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr&quot; method=&quot;post&quot; target=&quot;_top&quot;&gt;
&lt;input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;cmd&quot; value=&quot;_s-xclick&quot;&gt;
&lt;input type=&quot;hidden&quot; name=&quot;hosted_button_id&quot; value=&quot;5MN5P6K74HUWE&quot;&gt;
&lt;input type=&quot;image&quot; src=&quot;https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/btn/btn_donateCC_LG.gif&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; name=&quot;submit&quot; alt=&quot;PayPal - The safer, easier way to pay online!&quot; style=&quot;border-style: none; background-color: transparent;&quot;&gt;
&lt;img alt=&quot;&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; src=&quot;https://www.paypalobjects.com/en_US/i/scr/pixel.gif&quot; width=&quot;1&quot; height=&quot;1&quot;&gt;
&lt;/form&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;How are we going to spend your money? In general:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Hardware for development and testing&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Travel budget for conferences, events etc.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Accolades for active contributors&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;In particular, right now we need:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;About $200 to cover shipping expenses for donated hardware&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;About $300 for network equipment&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;About $2000 for hard drives&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://wiki.openvz.org/Donations&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;Donations page&lt;/a&gt; is created on our wiki to track donations and spending. We hope that it will see some good progress in the coming days, with a little help from you!&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;NOTE that if you feel like spending $500 or more, there is yet another way to spend it -- &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.parallels.com/support/virtualization-suite/openvz/&quot; target=&quot;_blank&quot; rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&gt;a support contract from Parallels&lt;/a&gt;, with access to their excellent support team and 10 free support tickets.&lt;/p&gt;</description>
