<h3>Frequently Asked Questions</h3> | |
<ul> | |
<br/><li><b>Do I get a charitable tax receipt for my donation? </b><br/><br/> | |
No. The Eclipse Foundation is a not-for-profit organization, not a charitable organization, so we are unable to provide charitable tax receipts.<br/><br/></li> | |
<li><b>What methods of payment do you accept for contributions?</b><br/><br/> | |
We are using PayPal to process your donation. PayPal enables you to use a credit card or a PayPal account.<br/><br/></li> | |
<li><b>What if I want to pay by cheque or direct deposit?</b><br/><br/> | |
At this time, we are only set up to accept contributions through PayPal. It is free to | |
sign up for an account at www.paypal.com.<br/><br/></li> | |
<li><b>What is the difference between contributing money to Eclipse and becoming a Friend of Eclipse?</b><br/><br/> | |
Individuals can contribute any amount of money they want to the Eclipse Foundation. However, those that give US$35 (but less than US$100) | |
qualify for "Friend" status. "Friend" status lasts for a period of 12 months and provides access to a Friends of Eclipse mirror and use | |
of the "Friend" logo. Individuals that give US$100 or more qualify for the "Best Friend" status. "Best Friend" status lasts for a period | |
of 12 months and provides access to the "Friend" benefits, an Eclipse t-shirt and a discount for EclipseCon events.<br/><br/></li> | |
<li><b>What amounts may I contribute?</b><br/><br/> | |
You may contribute any amount you like. A contribution between US$35 and US$99.99 gives you access to the "Friend of Eclipse" | |
benefits and a contribution US$100 or more qualifies you for the “Best Friend” benefits.<br/><br/></li> | |
<li><b>What do you plan to do with the money?</b><br/><br/> | |
All money donated by Friends of Eclipse will go directly to funding Eclipse IDE development.<br/><br/></li> | |
<li><b>What should I do if I made a mistake when submitting my contribution?</b><br/><br/> | |
Please email <a href="mailto:friends@eclipse.org">friends at eclipse.org</a> with all your contact | |
information and an explanation of what you need corrected.<br/><br/></li> | |
<li><b>What is the Friends of Eclipse Mirror?</b><br/><br/> | |
The Friends of Eclipse mirror is a high-capacity download server for Friends of Eclipse. Unlike our | |
main downloads servers, the Friends mirror has priority access to our bandwidth, typically resulting | |
in faster downloads. Although a local mirror in your country may still provide a faster download due | |
to the proximity, the Friends mirror is our way of saying 'thank you' for your donation.<br/><br/></li> | |
<li><b>Does this mean the Eclipse download site will be slower?</b><br/><br/> | |
The Eclipse download site's performance varies from day to day, depending on new project releases. | |
Although Friends' downloads get priority bandwidth, the Eclipse Foundation will add bandwidth as | |
required to ensure an adequate level of performance from our main download site.<br/><br/></li> | |
<li><b>How do I get access to the Friends of Eclipse mirror?</b><br/><br/> | |
Everyone that donates US$35 or more to the Eclipse Foundation will automatically be flagged as a | |
Friend of Eclipse. This gives them access to the Friends of Eclipse Mirror for 12 months. | |
When you register your donation, you will be asked to enter your Eclipse.org account email address. This will be used | |
to login to the Friends of Eclipse Mirror.<br/><br/></li> | |
<li><b>Who can use the Friend of Eclipse Logo?</b><br/><br/> | |
Any individual that has donated more than US$35 to the Eclipse Foundation may use the Friend of | |
Eclipse logo on a personal blog or web site. The Friends of Eclipse program is for individuals, so | |
the logo should not be used on an organization web site. <br/><br/></li> | |
<li><b>What does the t-shirt, included in the "Best Friend" package look like?</b><br/><br/> | |
<img src="images/tshirt.png" width="200" alt ="tshirt"/><br/><br/></li> | |
<br/><br/></li> | |
