Fundraiser

The Pitivi community is very happy to announce the availability of easy to use, distro-independent Linux bundles to test latest version of the application. This eliminates dependency problems and allows quicker testing cycles. Our entire stack is bundled, so the only requirement is glibc ≥ 2.13. Simply Download the bundle and run it! This is the first delivery of the Pitivi Fundraiser—as you can see, we are already well on our way to deliver what has been promised in our detailed planning.

During the creation of the campaign, we debated what kind of perks we should offer. The thing is, we are not t-shirt creators, we are software developers and UI designers.

What could we offer to the community that would help us in making the software that they truly want?

We have made the choice not to use one of the major crowdfunding platforms such as kickstarter for multiple reasons, and instead partner with the GNOME foundation, which is ideologically aligned with us and will support our financial infrastructure. We are proud of that partnership, as we share their objective of “creating a free software computing platform for the general public”, and the foundation is excited as well:
