G'day all!
The plaintextaccounting github organisation is a place to collect funds to support general PTA resources like plaintextaccounting.org, forum.plaintextaccounting.org, reddit.com/r/plaintextaccounting and the plaintextaccounting matrix and IRC chat rooms.
You can find financial reports, and donate links, on the plaintextaccounting Finance page: https://plaintextaccounting.org/finance
That page tells:
- How you can donate or sponsor
- How the money is used
- The history and current state of the plaintextaccounting organisation's finances.
The reports are up to date, and going forward I'll update them at the start of each month.
As you can see, our main expense is professional Discourse hosting. I think this provides a lot of value and is cost effective (see past discussion). We're not yet covering that cost, but I think we easily can do so, which would make us a solvent, self-supporting community. At least in regard to the plaintextaccounting site and forum.
You can help by becoming an individual or business sponsor of the plaintextaccounting org!
[A slight clarification: this post and the plaintextaccounting Finance page are about general plain text accounting resources, which usually have "plaintextaccounting" or "pta" in their name.
The plaintextaccounting github org also serves as a home for some projects which have their own separate finances (eg, hledger recently moved there).]
