Open source donations through eBay

5 April, 2004 - 08:11 — Ulf Rompe

The GAIM development team is currently raising some money by selling some cheap things on eBay in the hope that people are considering insane bids as a hidden donation. This seems to work, as we can see in this auction of a stupid photograph of the three core developers. I like this statement in the auction text:

This is likely the only photo that will ever exist of these software luminaries as I sure as hell ain't driving 14 hours to see those two losers again

Stupid photograph? I disagre

Stupid photograph? I disagree. That's the fine photographic craftwork of famed portrait photographer Jessica D. McCarthy taken way too early on a Sunday morning.

But, yeah, those two were losers.

Fame

Oh yes, she must be really famous, given the fact that a quick google search for "Jessica D. McCarthy" returns exactly 0 (in words: zero) results. :-)

But hey, wait a few days and things will change...
