It's with *much* reluctance that I've rejoined this mailing list. But since Dr. Richard Stallman has seemingly forgot events of the past 3 months, I figure I'll share a recap of our discussion for all of our benefit.
I raised this issue as soon as I became aware of the campaign, which was when I saw it mentioned here. I would have raised the issue earlier if I had known earlier.
This is simply untrue. I asked you in person during your lecture with about 20 witnesses at the GNOME hackfest in Boston what I should do. I told you I was going to be raising money to work on a new development environment for GNOME and that I was concerned about our options for crowd funding. You were unable to provide me any actionable suggestions for how to go forward. So I went with the best option I could find that was likely to result in success (I like Free Software almost as much as I like eating).
Since it is too late to do the campaign differently, I think we should suggest to people that they bypass the campaign and send money directly to a person or organization associated with Builder.
Richard, I'd be thrilled to receive money from you. Contact me at this email (I've attached my GPG key) and I can give you the details necessary for a financial transaction. -- Christian
