Research into crowdfunding

The allure of crowdsourcing is appealing. Notions of being able to reach out to countless new people, who may become interested in HAIKU and what it represents have and continue to captivate my attention. Over the past month, we at Haiku, Inc. have researched, discussed, and discussed some more, two crowdsourcing alternatives -- Kickstarter and Indiegogo.

Raising funds for Haiku through Goodsearch

Last month on the [haiku-inc] mailing list, Arman "Kulluminatii" Chahal suggested adding Haiku to Goodsearch. "What is Goodsearch?", you may ask. It's a Yahoo! powered search engine that will donate money (about a penny) to your favorite non-profit or school. They provide other ways to help earn money -- shopping online, participating in online surveys, completing special offers and more! This past week, the registration process completed and Haiku is now a participating non profit!

To choose Haiku as your cause,

  1. Go to goodsearch's homepage
  2. Click the "Choose a cause" button
  3. Enter "Haiku" in the search box.
  4. Select "Haiku (Saddle Brook, NJ)"

Alternatively, you can simply bookmark http://www.goodsearch.com/?charityid=949749

Currently, WebPositive is hard-coded to use Google when performing a search query from the URL bar. Until a user-defined setting is implemented, the easiest way is simply to set goodsearch as the start page, navigate to it and perform your search.

To set WebPositive's homepage,

  1. Go to Window and select Settings
  2. Paste http://www.goodsearch.com/?charityid=949749 as the Start page and click Apply.

Overall, this is another way each of us can collectively chip in and help raise secure additional funding for HAIKU. Thank you for the suggestion, Kulluminatii!

Some TODO's You CANDO

Over the next few weeks, I'll be trying to document some tangible non-C/C++ tasks. They'll usually be things that I've wanted to do or have been meaning to do, but for whatever reason haven't gotten around to doing them.

For each task, there'll a description of what it is, how it helps the project, and hopefully some information to help you get started.

A summary of Haiku, Inc.'s accomplishments in the past year

Some days ago, I realized that Haiku, Inc. never gave an official status update on its progress. Looking back at where we were last year, a lot of progress has been made. While this is not an official statement from the BOD, these are just my personal observations and recollections.

Haiku's First Employee

This blog is supposed to accompany my Haiku development efforts while being employed by the non-profit organisation behind Haiku , Haiku Inc.

Thanks to the donations you made to Haiku Inc., I will work full time until the end of november - that means 8 hours a day, 5 days a week. I'm not getting rich by doing this, but it should be enough to pay my bills. I don't even get more money if you would donate more - it would just make such an event more likely to happen again. Thanks for making this happening, anyway.

I intend to regularly update this blog during the next few weeks to give you an overview over what I am currently working on, and how I progress doing it.
