| 3 How can I donate money to the project? | |
| 4 ====================================== | |
| 5 | |
| 6 The Orthanc project **does not accept donations for now**. We think | |
| 7 it's a poor business model for running an open source project as it | |
| 8 suggests the developers are working for charity. | |
| 9 | |
| 10 If you want to **help the project financially as an end-user**, you | |
| 11 can approach some of the companies offering commercial support for | |
| 12 Orthanc and engage their services. Doing so creates a healthy | |
| 13 ecosystem around the project where companies are encouraged to | |
| 14 contribute their resources to improve the project to create a larger | |
| 15 pool of potential customers wanting their services. Those companies | |
| 16 can be found at the following locations: | |
| 17 | |
| 18 * `Orthanc Pro contact form <https://www.orthanc-server.com/orthanc-pro.php>`__. | |
| 19 | |
| 20 * List of `freelancers, small companies, or volunteers providing | |
| 21 custom assistance | |
| 22 <https://groups.google.com/d/msg/orthanc-users/vWpHWFkYiWI/vB5eRM1WCQAJ>`__ | |
| 23 on the Orthanc Users forum. | |
| 24 | |
| 25 Also, if you are a **commercial company** that builds upon the Orthanc | |
| 26 project for your own products, please use the `Orthanc Pro contact | |
| 27 form <https://www.orthanc-server.com/orthanc-pro.php>`__ so as to | |
| 28 engage one of the companies that provide commercial support to | |
| 29 accelerate your feature. Currently, `Osimis <https://www.osimis.io/>`_ | |
| 30 is the only company ensuring such corporate services, but others might | |
| 31 show up in the future. | |
| 32 | |
| 33 We appreciate **positive feedback** on our project as well. If you are | |
| 34 on Twitter, send us a tweet to `@OrthancServer | |
| 35 <https://twitter.com/OrthancServer>`__. That helps raise awareness of | |
| 36 our project so others can benefit from it as well. | |
| 37 | |
| 38 Finally, don't forget to have a look :ref:`other ways to contribute | |
| 39 <contributing>` to the Orthanc project. | |
