Background: pcb-rnd is a gpl licensed circuit board layout program forked from the pcb project. Ringdove is a complete EDA suite. This site is for ongoing fundraising to free up addtional ringdove dev time for the lead developer igor2. Currently, development time for any project in the suite is carved from igor2's spare hours in the early morning, evening, weekends, and holidays.
All funds donated here will go towards additional development.
Motivation: Those who wish to provide ongoing support or one time support can offer it here for development in ringdove.
More recently, igor2 has started a ringdove consulting service and any individual or business interested in supporting ringdove for directed projects or contracting should inquiring with igor2 about the best way to move forward.
Motivation part two: You just received shiny new pcbs back from the fab, they were developed with pcb-rnd and they look great. Now, you can now send a $5 or other amount as a thank you to the lead developer of pcb-rnd.
Alternative option: funding feature development
Another option is to pay for
development of pcb-rnd features you or your company requires. Inquire with igor2
about feature development with pcb-rnd
Goals:
At this time, supporting extra devoted time for pcb-rnd development is very
affordable. some metrics for support:
Four supporters pledging $12/month ($48/month total) activates more than a regular
working day's of development per month. Sustaining donations of over
$100usd equivalent per week enables part time work towards pcb-rnd development.
Since starting this project, this target has come into reach, and I'm looking to
taking this to the next level with fiscal sponsorship and a casting a wider call
for donations to the pcb-rnd project.
