[kdenlive] contributions

[Vincent Pinon]

Hi Jos,

Thanks for the idea/advice!

Few month after the 1st campaign, neither JB and I were sure to be able to keep Kdenlive alive, and money does not motivate us.
But as we are getting more and more on boat with KDE community, we now are eager to travel to gatherings (Akademy, Randa and others).
For that I can't spend too much of my (little) (family) money (in addition to the many hours I offer).

So yes, asking people to fund our sprints & conferences is now a good contribution we can ask.
Let's start with annual KDE Randa meetings fundraising campaign in few days?

Cheers,

Vincent.
