Amigans.net Featured Donations for August 2008

August 2008

Its that time once more to show how much you appreciate all those guys and gals who keep AmigaOS4 alive by devoting their talent and time in bringing you something to use on your favourite OS, be it a webportal, an application, a game, a utility an icon, whatever.

All we at Amigans.net are asking you to contribute is a minimum of ?5 Euro's or more, depending on what you can afford for each cause. However, if you can't afford that, then just pick only one cause and donate what you can.

Our two featured Donations for this month are:-

Xeron is the equivelant of Rolls Royce, he doesn't churn out much that often, but when he does, its pure quality.
His pftp program and Hively tracker have received acclaim from many quarters. but unlike a Rolls Royce, it doesn't cost much, as a matter of fact it does'nt cost anything! So please, put fingers to your keyboard, log on to paypal and thank the guy. He really could do with your support.

[img align="left"]http://www.amigans.net/images/fdonations/salass00.png[/img]What can you say about Salass00? Well, if Spot up is China then Salass00 is close behind, shall we say, Taiwan?
Fredrik is the second most prolific author on OS4 Depot. Lets, put it this way, if Xeron is the rolls royce of the amiga scene, then Salass00 is to the man who supplies the tyres, the fuel, wipers, switches etc.
Without him and his myriad of Libraries and utilities, the Amiga would be so far back in terms of usage, you'd need a time machine to visit the 80's
Go on, give him a thank you, tip his paypal.




July 2008

Spot Up is the amiga equivelant of "Made in China" the amount of ports this guy churns out for AmigaOS4 is almost on an industrial scale. He isn't human! Check out the number of uploads to OS4 Depot. Which includes Magazeux, Spot's Porting for Dummies Guide, MoleInvasion and many, many more.

Surely you've heard of him by now??? No? what planet are you on? Thanks to Jahc we have, Wookiechat, SabreMSN, Rockbeat, SimplePlay and alas; the FartButton! Please donate what you can, but mind the photo on the front page, its not for the faint hearted!


JUNE 2008

Welcome to the Launch of the monthly Amigans.net Developer/Web Portal/Graphic Artist/ etc Donations Drive.

First, thanks to all the people who expressed their support for this idea, we have been pleasantly surprised at just how many of you out there actually care.

For our Launch, we have chosen two of the most distinguished unsung Amiga developers out there, they are:-

Edgar Schwan (CygnusEd)
Works include:
Cygnix X11 Port, FontForge, OWB Libraries and more! Over 40 bits of software on OS4 Depot and counting!
Very much a developer at the forefront of AmigaOS4 development.

Joerg Strohmayer
Again, needs very little introduction, responsible for OWB a free, fully featured AmigaOS4 Web browser with full CSS capability etc. plus, SFS, AmiDVD, CPU TempDocky and many more too!

Think about this if you will. Back in the Amiga's hayday we used to spend loads of cash on Amiga hardware and software in the shops.
All we are asking you now is to take a tiny bit of that money you would have spent back then and give it to those who are still keeping us going.

Donate today.

Next Month, we will ask you to nominate another two AmigaOS4 Developer/Web Portal/Service/Graphic Artist - whatever!

Thank you.

Edit: Thanks to Klesterjr for the donate buttons, he must surely feature on here one day. P.S why isn't ken helping the OS4 design team?

Anyone donated to these two fine gentlemen of the amiga scene so far?

@Mikey_C

I gave 15,00 euros to Joerg Strohmayer for its wonderful work on OWB and AmiDVD.

Cheers

@Mikey_C

I guess it's unlucky for the two gents to be selected this particular month as everybody is putting aside money for AOS 4.1

Luckily I've already saved up for OS4.1, so I'll of course donate some well deserved dineros to our friends.

@Mikey_C

Wow. I've had 3 donations! I'm so pleased. Thanks guys, and thanks to the people who donated in the past as well!

@xeron

Lets hope you get at least a minimum of 10-15 donations. (fingers crossed)

@Mikey_C

That would be great. They money goes straight onto my credit card debt, but believe me, i'm really really thankful for that!

@Mikey_C

Hi, I've donated to Salass00 but Fredrik's paypal button shows "anders[at]mundanus.net" is this genuine or has his paypal button been hijacked?

Regards Richard.

Edit: seems it is genuine.

@Draby

Quote:

It is genuine (no hijack). I don't have a credit card so the account is registered to my dad. I sent you an e-mail thanking you for your donation BTW.

@salass00

Oh Good, glad that's sorted.
Regards Richard.

Donations made to both developers.

@all

August is almost over. Please, if you haven't donated to these two fine chaps so far this month, please do so now.

They really will appreciate it.

Thank you.
