Copy pasting Olafs post on Apollo Forum, since it deserves its own thread;

Unfortunately one of the most active Aros developer has to quit because of financial problems.
more details here:

there is a link to become donor to him, perhaps some want to support him.

At the end of the day, we have to decide if the activity level of Kala is enough to warrant people supporting him.
Ive not really paid attention to AROS until Apollo Team started pushing for it, but based on what ive read from the AROS community, Kala seems to be a very active developer.

Nick is one of the most important coders in the Aros community, he is working on SMP, 3D system and a lot more. If we lose Nick then all Amiga flavours suffer because Aros is a great source of code and inspiration for all platforms including the fact that the Vampire is making Aros 68k very relevant with Aros x86 the next step up to next generation with mad performance levels due to SMP and Nouveau 3d support for Kepler and Maxwell cards coming.

Please consider contributing to his Patreon page what you can afford, I have just increased mine as I believe passionately in the work he is doing. He has been working hard for a long time on Aros and doing this will return the favour by helping him now.

If we can get him up to $600 per month it will help him though this initial problems, if 50 people do $10 per month, this will go to helping when he needs it most and enable him to continue the great work he is doing.

We are all a community please pull together and help one of the best of us. Please do this as soon as possible if you are able.

Many thanks

We shouldnt get all wired up if people are not willing to support. Thats fine.

I just posted it to raise awareness of the situation, and those that feel they can spare some cash, and they feel it worthwhile, good stuff.

If not, thats fine too.

I visited Ireland/Donegal a few months ago, and It was somewhat deserted. Very nice place, and superfriendly people. But the locals said the jobs was far and few between.
Alot of the locals left the country to find work, and if you have a family with kids, its not always easy to uproot and move just like that.

So saying it shouldnt be hard to find jobs; austerity in Europa has been applied much harsher than in USA. Germany is doing very well, in addition to the old Sovjet states. The socalled Old Europa, not so much.

For those so inclined;

His email is kalamatee (*at*) gmail (*dot*) com, and that can be used with Paypal for example.

Kala made a new post on Aros forum worth reading. It seems like hes in a rather timecritical situation;

wawrzon is right. I was being careless. My work email was being spammed initially too first time it got published, until proper filters was put in place.
