2   How to Contribute

You can use the Asterisell SWREG Account:

or you can contact me (Massimo Zaniboni) and ask for information about direct Bank Wire Transfer. For large sum of money this is the preferred method because there are lower transaction fees. If requested in advance I can produce an invoice for the payment.

3   Philosophy

Asterisell adopts a Open Funding Business Model because:

• every income is reported
• every expense is reported
• there is a fixed expected net income
• every contributor can receive an income committing extensions/patches

3.1   Financial Contributor

If you have earned (or saved) money using Asterisell then consider to give back something.

Asterisell is released under a open source license so you own entirely the product and you are free to customize and improve it. So contributions are not a license cost but a way to pay for past Asterisell development.

3.2   Open Funding of source code Contributors

If you extend Asterisell then you can agree with me (Massimo Zaniboni) an expected net income. This income will be added to Asterisell total expected income and it will be sent to you when raised.

If you commit a patch you can agree with me (Massimo Zaniboni) an income. In this case the net income of the extension affected by the bug will be decreased according the cost of the patch.

3.3   Financial Contributions to other Open Source Projects

Incomes higher than the expected Asterisell net income will be redirect to other open source projects related to Asterisell like the Symfony framework, Asterisk VoIP server, PHP language etc..
