The Pitivi video editor project[1] has started a fundraising campaign[2] that
is being hosted and supported by the GNOME project. The goal is €100,000,
though a lesser €35,000 goal would be enough to get to a 1.0 release. There
are Kickstarter-like levels with different perks given at each (mostly
different levels of recognition in the code/interface, rather than "
mousepads, pen-drives or other random perks that don't actually raise the
quality of the software"). In addition, donors get to vote on Pitivi
features, with a number of votes proportional to their donation. "In the
Pitivi project, we believe in allowing everyone on the planet to express
themselves through filmmaking, with tools that they can own and improve. But
it goes further than just transcoding videos of dogs on skateboards: what we
want to build is a flexible, high-end video editing application that can be
used by professionals and hobbyists alike. This is what this project is
about: build upon our current solid foundations to unleash Pitivi's full
potential to satisfy the needs of professionals."
