“donations is not a business model.” IMHO, if you wanted to make a living from OSS…

Noone is talking about making a living ! form OS, wet. I was talking about a present, a small, very small reward for a programmer. if someone freaks out because i kindly ask for a donation – i did not even request one – bad luck. I can not help it. There is so much work in TXP Mag, articles, information gathering, blogmap, linklist, mails, coding, coordination, server etc.. and i have to make a living on day time too! i just refuse to argue with NyteOwl about one email i sent out which btw is unfortunately based on a misunderstanding ahead of all. But NyteOwl has not had the time to contact me again. ..
Call me immature, i call it overreacted and in the wrong place.

I rather prepare the 3 tuts for setting up txp (screencast) now and write my article on serend. vs. TXP for TXP Mag instead arguing with someone whos email does not even contain a:
Hello, would be kind if you can add my site to CANANDa…

Am i a servant or what?

You get a great magazine, a nice blogmap, a comprehensive linklist and someone (and others since some time now) who invests tons of time .. and does not even speak your language… and you start a discussion here? About such a minor stuff?

Destry put it into the right words in his previous post btw.. but i have to close now and get a cool beer.
