Hi,

First read this: FREEAVD announcement

Lets start with a tread for freeavd so that it stays in sight.

I have a question about the " status " bar for the sponsors. If we need 300 sponsors who donate/invest 10$, wil the bar go further if there is someone who sponsors 50$ a month? Will the bar advance 5 X faster? (10$ = 1 X)

@Dirk-B

I just became a sponsor for 10$/month. I have some expenses in the near months
so I couldn't commit to more yet. But I'm sure I'll up it to atleast 25$/month really
soon.

@Samwel

The same for me, i just wait a little longer to see if there
are some more sponsors arriving. I think that the first
3000$ will be doable, but we need a few more sponsors.

It can and does yes.

The "bounty" progress bar is a complete total of all monthly sponsors and donations thus far.
The "Sponsors" bar I count up in $10 increments, so:

$ 10/Month (COPPER) counts as 1 Sponsor
$ 25/Month (SILVER) counts as 2 Sponsors
$ 50/Month (GOLD) counts as 5 Sponsors
$100/Month (PLATINUM) counts as 10 Sponsors.

@JamieKrueger

What if I want to change my 10$/month to a 25$/month 4 months from now?
Shall I go to my Paypal account and break the subscription and start a new
through your site? Will I be credited for my previous donations based on the
same paypal account??

@JamieKrueger

So if a person sponsors 100$/month for 20 months he/she has got himself 10 copies
of the full AVD suit which he/she can give to anyone? Or have I missunderstood this?

Exactly right. Simply go to your paypal account and cancel out the
current subscription and then go back to the BITbyBIT site and sign
up again under which sponsor level you like.

If you need to you can always just stop the payments for a while and then
start them up again, or make some payments and then a donation. Anything
you want to really, it's entirely up to you.

In all cases I will credit ALL payments, donations, etc. toward the purchase of
the full AVD Suite. Just make sure to use the same paypal account (and email),
or send me a note to let me know that it's still you so I can connect the payment
history together.

If you ask anyone who has already made their purchase through the FDSP programs,
and had interrupted payments or paypal issues, they can tell you that I handled those
the same way, always crediting everything you put in no matter how broken up the
payments may have been.

Best Regards,

Jamie

Yes, that is correct. They will gain one full license for the upcoming AVD Suite v1.0
for every US $200.00 of contributions to the FREEAVD project.

The AVD software is licensed "per seat" as opposed to "per machine".
This means that each copy is keyed to one individual (or in the case of
a company one "seat"), and not to any number of machines that you
may choose to run it on.

Therefore, you only need one license to have a copy installed on your workstation
and your laptop (OOOH OS4 laptop PLEASE! ... er, sorry.) if you are the only one
using it. However, if you have a team of people using the software in any way, you
will need one license for each member of the team, even if they all shared only one
machine. (For multiple-license and network based installs you will have to log into
the AVD software to use it, so it always knows who ie. "which seat" is doing what
work. This is true of single installations as well, although the login key is automatic
so you are not bothered by it.)

Keep in mind that if you do get a handful of licenses in this manner and what to
give some away, once you decide (and tell me) how you want the licenses handled
and the keys are made for them, you can't change your mind later on.

Best Regards,

Jamie

That's fine with me.

You just wait, Toaks will be handing out AVD Suite CDROMs at the
Amiga shows like candy yet.

Just to clear up one thing. One of the questions you have on your FAQ was asked by DirkB
and not me.

Hmm, not many sponsors.

I am considering a BIG gift to reach the first 3000$, but
i first need to know what will be done with that first
round of 3000$.

Will there be a full frreeavd from the first round?

@Dirk-B

From what Jamie has written, it sounds like he will commit to developing and releasing FreeAVD once $3000 has been reached. However, lack of sufficient sponsorship will mean he can't work on it full-time and hence the development will take longer. I'm not sure if full-time means full-time working on FreeAVD or working full-time on AVD in general (i.e., including the commercial version).

I'm sure he'll drop by within the next day or so to clarify.

The $3000 bounty mark will lock in the development and delivery
of FREEAVD to the public.

Together with current resources it also means I can continue
full time development through the next two months (Sept. and Oct.).
Each additional funding of $3000 gains me another full month of
development.

Now, a great deal of work has already gone into the development
of AVD over the last 18 months, and I can say for sure that some
useful releases will happen within those two months, possibly much
sooner. I am doing everything I can to push the development of both
AVD and FREEAVD ahead at the point.

I believe that a "full" FREEAVD (meaning one based on the AVD Suite v1.0)
should be possible within the next 6 to 12 months. However I expect to
release some very useful pieces much sooner than that. More specifically
the current focus is on the GUI Builder and the XML-to-GUI (realtime)
runtime system, which will start out by making scripting w/GUIs *very*
simple to write.

I hope that answers your question, and I thank everyone for their
support thus far.

Best Regards,

Jamie
