Hi, Brian.

I have thought about crowd-funding, but I think this should be a method
of last resort if we can't get funding any other way because one of the
founding principles of Bio-Linux is that it can be distributed freely.

There are 307 list subscribers at present...

One idea that might make a small amount of money would be for me to sell
the "Minke-Informatics" branded 8GB Bio-Linux 8 USB-sticks that I use
for Bio-Linux courses (see image attached) for $25 (£20) + postage.

If anyone wants to buy one or more of these Bio-Linux 8 USB-sticks to
help support the development of Bio-Linux, then please send a Stamped
Addressed Envelope to the address in my signature below and payment of
£20 or $25 (plus postage if the envelope is not stamped) by PayPal to my
email address below.

I'll post a tutorial about how to upgrade these Bio-Linux 8 USB-sticks
to Bio-Linux 9 in due course.

Bye,

  Tony.
