From @roderickvd:

Personally, I appreciate any donations precisely as a token of appreciation. I don't depend on it, and it does not buy any promises or time away from my full-time job, but it does provide a lot of motivation and encouragement.

It also helps fund recurring software development licenses.

Every Euro is appreciated ❤️

I am currently employed as an full time employee and don't intend to walk on the freelancer OSS maintainer path, simply because the expected revenue is not sufficient compared to what I would make in the industry.

Thanks for the gesture though, and definitely appreciate it. if there is other folks with the right expertise who are interested in helping out for payment, I can help with coordination.

@louis030195 thank you for putting this on the table. In what capacity would you propose that? There's funding someone to do it for a living, then there's gestures of appreciation and encouragement, and anything in between.

There's a lot of other OSS contributors with sponsorship pages that I'm sure will equally appreciate it.

Or were you thinking of "going big"? Interested to hear what you were thinking of.
