Traffic shaper changes [90% completed, please send money to complete bounty]
-
250$ sent. Forgive my tardiness; my company didn't have their own Paypal account so I had to arrange that. I believe that payment came from a paypal account starting in "mhughes".
-
Sai has contacted me saying he has done a bank transfer to my account.
So he said he sent his 100$.
-
I quickly scanned through the thread to see who pledged, etc. If you have already paid please reply and say that you have already paid.
Hi,
I just paypaled my $500 – reminding of the fact that I wanted to transfer a few weeks back but was asked to wait, because you didn't know who should have the money ;)
Your work is much appreciated. My contribution doesn't come close to paying for the work going into it, so I consider the deal I got to be a good one.
Thank you!

I just sent $100 from my personal account to help out on this. The IT director really likes the looks of PF, and has committed to me to contribute, but doesn't want to until he has an ETA on the project being finished.

OK so if I can scrape together like $200:
-
Will I get a package that I can install on 1.2 once it goes final ?
-
Will anyone be able to provide basic support if I cant get it to work ?
-
Will it get updated if updates of pfsense before 1.3 break it or will I be stuck on the same version of pfsense that it was originally written to work on ?
-
Will it get updated with general bug fixes ?
-
Can I send the patch to friends ? What about posting it on my blog ? What is the license of this package going to be ?
I dont know if its fair to put me on that list, all i did was ask a few questions that no one ever answered. If someone can answer my questions I would be happy to put in what i had suggested.

I didn't answer your question cause there is a simple answer.
It is a improvement to pfSense that you can have earlier and it will be compatible with future versions of pfSense, in the upgarde way and since it is going to be pfSense new shaper the license is permissive, as in BSD license, for you to do what you want with it. -

I AM NOT A DEV but my understanding is: many people offerd to pay a bounty but are now awol. so the package is available only to those who paid. the shaper will be available in 1.3 for all.
I also have an objection to being put on the list - I offered to pay but Scott refused to accept any money from me.

just sent $50 to paypal@chrisbuechler.com
thank you for your hard work!

Right on, that makes sense but as someone new to the community its hard to get that big picture answer very easily.
Ill send the $ early next week when i get home.
-
I sent $100 to paypal@chrisbuechler.com before. My e-mail address starts with fogyoon.
Thanks.
-
I didnt participate in the initial bounty. But after I read what Eri did I was really impressed. Therefore I will donate a small amount. As I am a Student I would like to donate more but right now I cant.
I sent $25 to paypal@chrisbuechler.com before. My e-mail address starts with teclisThanks.

I really want to thank everybody who is donating money for this, even if it's only a small amount. We really appreciate it and all the traffic shaper changes are really worth it. It's not trivial to implement and Ermal is doing a great job! Thanks everybody and thanks Ermal. :)

Just send:
U hebt $75,00 USD verstuurd naar paypal@chrisbuechler.com. Er is een e-mail gestuurd naar de ontvanger.Yeah I know this is dutch ;D
enyway send $75,00 as bounty for this cool program.
Thx already for the great job.
Note:
This bounty thing you have here is indeed a bit messy.
See this bounty for traffic shaping, aftera while ppl walk away, whey find other programs or other solutions.It would be wise to have a part on this forum with only can be edit by mod's & Admin's.
Wen someone ask something and offer a bouty for it then the PFSense crew first look what it must cost in total.
How much hours work and effort it cost etc etc..
Then you make in that seperate part an own bounty toic for this question with the total amound money it minimun must cost.
Ppl can send in money and the moment the first buck come in the PFSense crew start making this new plugin.So the writing from the program and the money what comes in walks hand by hand. ( more or less)
Becouse you see how much is coming in already and how far the program is.This way you can announce in this special topic the progres from writing the software so ppl can how far you are.
( not ad daily basis afcourse) but now and then, some sort progres meter or so.This wil stimulate ppl to pay and the is some sort deadline from expectation wen it is ready for launce.
Now on this bounty ( or most other bounty's on this forum) it was very misty how and what was going on.
and yes ppl walk away then because there happen nothing…BTW just my 2 pence
enyway thx again for the great job.
-
I think, it takes a lot of confidence, for both sides, but also i think, you don´t know, how this bounty has been materialized ;)
-
I am already for a while on this forum but post not much becouse I want to figger things out for myself.
enyway.
I read a lot here aboud this and other bounty's and the devellopping from such bounty.See also ppl say:
Wen it can do this and that I pledge $75.Se there is some need to inform how much $ is needed for such bounty, how much amound of $ went in, how far the progres from the new software is, and what it can or cannot do.
With this knowledge ppl wil pay or wil not pay, simple as that.
The team make the software wen money come's in,
And not how it happen now on pledge, because this is no stable base where you can count on.I can pledge a 100 000 but wen I dont pay that is the end..
So only thing I wanna say is good information and wen pay they make things.
This wil run smooth and good, and you wil see no more trouble or confusion. -
What is your intention about this thread, "indoctrination", i don´t know,
all of the folks here do the very best…Regards
