Basilisk Maintenance - October 19th 2018

[zimbab]

Thanks for your hard work lordkator

[Serrabell]

I plan to write up a bit about what we achieved today but we hit many of the goals I had for this window and I am confident this has progressed us to the next level of making things easier to maintain and optimize.

That said I'm burnt out, been smashing at the keyboard since 2:30 am Eastern Time, slept 4 hours.. so yea.. maybe not tonight.

If you find issues please be gentle and careful in your analysis, I have zero reasons to believe we lost anything and the code base is basically the same short of a handful of little things that allowed us to test quicker today.

You are awesome sir, go get some rest, we will be ok

I know the idea would never fly but $5.00/month to keep your Jedi would fund this thing forever.....

[Kaolin]

Thx Mob great (yes and somber) vid! I see you Kaadara SWIPErs out there! Come visit NIKA more often, its a fun place to play!!!

I have other questions, since this post should be more about funding than the bickering its caused (eye on the prize ladies and gentlemen).

Is SWGEmu set up as a non-profit organization (501c3 per us tax code) or is it possible to do so?

Next, to what extent is the emu allowed to collect funds (i.e. Ad based support, GoFundMe, etc)? I noticed it said non-profit on the paypal page.

Last, are there any emu members who can provide services the group instead of having to pay each month for them (lawyers, accountants, etc)?

I hope we can all come up with some creative solutions to the problem maybe to help with it on a long term basis. We do have a great think tank here so we should use it.

Gotta go order pizza now. Thanks!!

Caio!!

As Misk stated- it may be worth checking into what skills / credentials our player base has in the realm of lawyers, accountants, etc.

In the last financial report https://www.swgemu.com/forums/showthread.php?t=207044 those fees represented about 20% of the costs at $7200. Surely we have some CPAs who perhaps could donate their time.

Good job, everyone!

it's been a very very long time and I was never terribly great but I would be willing to study back up on things. Can't promise my ability stacks up to the job but I would love to help if I can.

I'm in the same boat. I've got a comp sci degree collecting dust and I've done a fair amount of coding in C and C++. I'd love to help if it's feasible.

I also set up a 10$ USD recurring donation. I really want this project to be seen through to Suncrusher.

Always looking for more developers, if you're interested start by looking at the Development section and see if you can a learn bit there.

ANYONE can submit to review.swgemu.com your changes might not be accepted but you're welcome to dig around and see what you can do.

Over time if you keep pushing we can help guide you towards things that are in the backlog.

Lets get into a habit of donating monthly not just when a push is made when the projects struggled after months of low funding !!!

[Mauriac]

Truuu, I set a monthly donation up ya'll should do the same if you can afford it.

[xirad]

Yup, it's super easy to do. Set it and forget it. If you play regularly then treat it line any other subscription-based game!
