Howdy everyone. This is my first post on this lits, so please allow me to introduce myself. I'm Tony, 31, software engineer, brazilian. More about myself here and here . I'm reaching out to this list because I've built a free software crowdfunding platform that you might find interesting/useful. It's called FreedomSponsors - will you please take a look? - http://www.freedomsponsors.org - http://blog.freedomsponsors.org/ FS lets people place money bounties on issues of open source projects. (like bitcoins issues listed at https://github.com/bitcoin/bitcoin/issues). If more people have the same needs, they can "chip in" on that offer. Payments are made directly to developer *after* the issue has been resolved (no escrows involved). Right now, the only supported payment option is Paypal, but I'm already working on enabling the use of Bitcoin both as a currency and a payment option. So, if you like it, feel free to use it, and maybe even contribute to it (which is *very* welcome) - it's open source on Github - https://github.com/freedomsponsors. If you have any feedback, I'm happy to hear about it. Thanks! Tony Lāmpada
