Funding goals and current status

Amounts before social security contributions, taxes and administrative fees. So it's not the net pay. It's what I should receive/invoice in total.

• current: TODO calculate

• 0€/month: Unsustainable even with with help of social security

• 200€/month: Net pay of 60€, minimum sustainable with help of social security.

• 1 140€/month: Net pay of 538€, minimum sustainable without help of social security.

• TODO recalculate€/month: Net pay of 964€ which would be around half the salary if I had continued to work at my previous job.

• TODO recalculate€/month: Net pay of 1928€ which would be the salary if I had continued to work at my previous job and just a bit bellow the median income of France (1 960).

Financial security for more than the next six months thanks to savings.

Terms and conditions of funding

Patronage: It will be based on the budget of the patron/customer and how much it values my work.

It will work with recurring payments (not necessarily monthly). With a date of reevaluation (every 1, 3 or 6 months) of the amount by the patron based on the Monthly reports and the patron's budget. This will provide more trust, transparency and security to the patron. A contract can be made if necessary.

The minimum funding amount is 50€/mo (or the equivalent in any currency).

Planned funding sources

From 3 types of community members

• Koha support companies
  • Those involved in the community
  • Those least involved or not involved at all. On the long run, the ultimate goal would be to mostly be funded by these. Which would mean supports companies that now don't contribute to Koha will do by proxy.
• Koha user groups
• Big libraries involved in the community

Maybe external grants

Ideally that would be recurring. Otherwise it would be unreliable.
