Good news!

Amount of monthly donation is now 8630eur :star_struck:
Goal not reached yet, but there’s a huge improvement with previous amount.

Hope it’s not the result of a one-shot donation :sweat_smile:

The contract with Intel is, for now, for two years but they actually donated both years in one go.

Good news, maybe other hardware makers will become patrons in the future.

While I’m happy to see that, that’s basically just two senior dev’s (the cheap ones) salaries.

Congratulations!!!

I know, but it’s already a good progression in comparison of donation amount it was before

Also, goal is 5 developers € 15k / month, so 50% of goal is now reached, this is symbolic but encouraging :muscle:

Well this convinces me to wait for their new desktop GPUs.

That’s great news, let’s hope more will follow soon :smiley:

That would be me – though it would be fairer to say that Intel approached me first.

We’ve been doing a lot of projects with them previously, for performance, for additional UI features, HDR support, so we’ve had more than 10 years of succesful cooperation with them.
