Side Projects

GeeXboX is a free project, developed by people with their free time. This means that we have no income or support to help us with development. Many users request new features from us, especially on hardware we do not own. Besides, hosting the web server, the domain name and providing the needed bandwidth to let you download GeeXboX's ISO has a cost. Recently, we've been lucky that someone has provided us a free webserver but this may change at any time.

To donate does not necessarily mean giving money. Of course, if you really like GeeXboX and believe that the time used to develop it should be rewarded, your money donations are welcomed (they will be used to help meet goals requested from users, such as having better development conditions, i.e buying new hardware to add support ...). If you want to contribute to the GeeXboX project you can make a donation using PayPal : it's free, easy and of course you're free to donate what you think our work deserves. The whole development team thanks you.

But you're also able to help us from many others ways. If you can provide us dedicated servers, bandwidth, promotions, advertisement, or even specific piece of hardware, old computers stuff, please contact us, your help will be greatly welcomed. By the way, you can also help us with your own skills as we're looking for translations maintainers, documentation maintainers and especially designers and drawers.

At the moment, we're really looking for specific help :

* lots of hardware bits (even old ones) to add support to GeeXboX (video cards, sound cards ...).
* a Sony PlayStation 3 to extend GeeXboX support on this architecture.
* whatever may inspire you.

So, if you want to help us, just mail us at donate@geexbox.org. And, on behalf of all the developers and users, thank you for your help.
Here's a description of all of our generous donators, each of them have give us a slight money income to thank us from our work and which will be used to add a better support for hardware stuff into GeeXboX.
