Finances and more!
Summary
As we approach Kodi DevCon (our annual team member conference) we continue our quest for greater transparency and openness in how the project is managed. In the last year Team Kodi members presented at: Some attendance costs are fully covered by the conference organizers. Your donations allow the team to play an ongoing and active part in the Open Source community; both sharing our own knowledge with others, and learning from them so we can make Kodi better. They do get sick of hearing about it :) The project has three sources of funding: sponsorships, public donations, and sales of Kodi branded tee-shirts and Raspberry Pi ‘flirc’ cases. We are normally shy when hardware vendors approach us with an offer of sponsorship, but Libre Computer has been funding a range of Open Source projects and Linux multimedia development that directly benefits the ecosystem around them in addition to their own products.
