-# Free Software Foundation
-
-The Free Software Foundation is the GNU project's principal organizational
-sponsor. [Donations to the FSF](http://donate.fsf.org/) are tax deducible.
-However, they can't accept donations addressed directly to/specifically for the
-GNU Hurd project.

-# FOSS Factory -- a Bounty System for GNU Hurd Work
-
-[[!template id=note text="""
-
-> Hey, I have more money than time or programming skills, and I'd like to help
-> GNU Hurd development specifically -- how can we arrange for this, where can I
-> donate money for GNU Hurd development?
-
-If you're dwelling on such thoughts, here is the answer; here you can donate
-money for GNU Hurd development.
-
-"""]]
-
-
-As its principal idea, [FOSS Factory](http://www.fossfactory.org/), means to
-serve as a hub and organizational platform for connecting Free/Open Source
-Software developers with monetary sponsors. From
-<http://www.fossfactory.org/aboutus.php>:
-
-[[!img foss_factory/logo.png align=right link=no]]
-
-> FOSS Factory's mission is to accelerate the advancement of free/open source
-> software by helping people collaborate on the design, funding, and
-> development of innovative software ideas. All software solutions produced
-> using our system are released under free/open source licenses. Our unique
-> model brings the best of innovators from both the entrepreneurial and FOSS
-> worlds together to solve real world problems using the mass resources of the
-> FOSS community.
-
-In very general words, their modus operandi is that the community (including
-the monetary sponsors) works together with the developers on splitting up tasks
-into suitable and assessable sub-projects as necessary, and then act as the
-reviewing instance, deciding on such sub-projects' success (and payment,
-successively). For more details see their [System
-Overview](http://www.fossfactory.org/overview.php).
-
-For now, we can assume that the amount of money to be made by working on a GNU
-Hurd task in this framework is likely to be a symbolic amount only, rather than
-being representative for the real effort that needs to be invested. Software
-development is expensive, mostly due to the amount of time that is needed for
-completing any non-trivial task. Instead, these bounties should be regarded as
-an attraction/reward, perhaps also simply as a motivation for a developer to
-focus on one specific problem, and bringing it to completion.
-
-
-## Working on a Task and/or Suggesting/Donating for a New Task
-
-In principle, any Hurd-related development task is applicable (for example,
-from the [[GSoC project ideas|community/gsoc/project_ideas]], or from the
-[[open_issues]] list), but it is of course recommendable to match sponsors'
-ideas with those of the developers and maintainers. For this, if you want to
-sponsor a project, but don't know which one to choose, or if you want to work
-on a bounty that is not yet listed on the site, we suggest that you talk to us
-first, either publically on the [[bug-hurd mailing
-list|mailing_lists/bug-hurd]] or privately on <hurd-maintainers@gnu.org>, if
-you prefer.
-
-Both for supporting (donating) as well as claiming a bounty, you have to
-register [at their site](http://www.fossfactory.org/), and proceed from there.
-Please don't hesitate to ask [[Thomas Schwinge|tschwinge]] if you need help.

-Continue to explore the [[list of open bounties|tag/bounty]].

-
-# Hurd Developer Meetings
-
-Another possibility is to meet with the Hurd developers at a
-[[meeting|community/meetings]] and spend them a pizza or beer or both or
-similar.
