Hi All,
http://kdewebdev.org/donate.php

I'm experiencing some frustration right now. Our largest contributor is 
unusually late with a quarterly contribution and our user sponsorship has 
been drifting lower. I'm also experiencing personal financial issues making 
it hard to cover this. My business is being forced to back order our highest 
dollar volume wholesale product, our retail has been cut to 1/3 expectations 
due to the luck of the draw on weather and pretty much everyone we know seems 
to need us to bail them out one way or another. As a result I have no 
resources or cash cushion with wish to take care of Andras. I'm very behind 
now, owing him at least two months. My personal financial situation will 
change dramatically over the next 60 days as my two new wholesale account 
managers start bringing in business, but for now I'm playing catch up.

I know a lot of people using our software get a lot of benefit from it. 
Typically when I write on the list I get maybe 10-20 people contributing 
smaller amounts and some jumping in for hundreds off dollars/Euros. That 
would sure be wonderful right now as I'm tired of not sending Andras what I 
owe him, and the same goes for Michal. I'd really like to do a lot more fun 
things for the upcoming KDE 4, but first is stop stressing over sponsored 
developer support.

BTW for those of you who are curious about my health I am now back to the gym 
nearly two months. My high bloodpressure is now low enough I can lower 
medication and using resp@rate I will probably be off meds shortly. Because 
of my health efforts I now look and feel great at 50, which nobody believes I 
am and my 2001 drivers license picture looks like a bad fake ID. I mention 
all this since for over a year I had trouble concentrating and focusing and I 
had headaches. Now I'm working on my mental discipline and ready to get a lot 
more involved in the project. There are fun things I want to do.

Thanks to all who have supported us in the past and to all who will support us 
now and in the future. We love making great software for you!
