Traffic shaper changes
-
hi guys,
I would donate $1000 after my first successful deal with the transparent shaper box.
my requirements are low:
just shaping in bridged mode (two interfaces) to give certain services the QoS they need (e.g. web / citrix / shh etc…)kind regards,
mrt_okSorry but we need the cash up front. We have already been fooled into believing this from others and the policy now is half is due up front and half on completion. With this many people pooling their funds together we will need to gather the money up before starting the project. Sorry!
Just to touch on this…I'm somewhat expecting that I'll be the one working on and claiming this bounty. As Scott mentioned, we've (myself included) had people offer up bounties and then not pay once the work has been completed. If it makes people feel better about fronting some of the bounty, I suspect (I haven't confirmed this with Scott and/or Chris yet) the primary pfSense donations account could be used to escrow the funds which could be returned minus whatever Paypal charges (not sure what type of account Chris has) if the bounty isn't fullfilled. Unless someone knows of a better way to escrow funds of course :)

I think that would work well
-
For the purpose of getting more people interested in donating to this feature, I think it would be good to get some pricing information for commercial traffic shaping bridges from companys like Cisco or APconnections.
Then we can brag about how much money someone could save. -
Yes, we can use the pfSense account to escrow the money. That would work out well for everyone I would suspect.
-
With several people pooling it would be a good idea for Bill to let us know what he aims to do. Some of the requests may be non-feasible, some may even be in conflict.

Hi,
btw I would spent time and efforts to implement this in front.
Have to check if I can get some money for this at front…
with my customer

Update: I guess I can gather that money (50%) in front. Bill, do you have an idea how long it takes to do this? I mean I cannot spend money in front without a schedule.

I am sorry but I guess that you didn't read my entire sentence. With this many people contributing to one bounty, we need 100% of the funds up front. The last thing we need is to gather 50% from everyone and then two people disappear at the right time. It has happened before and we are tired of being burned by good faith agreements. Sorry!

I'll start a new thread so I can have an updateable first post and merge this thread into it later today.

okay fine.
the goal is $10000 ?
then I guess we need a BIG contributer …
-
10,000 was suggested by one person. Nobody from coreteam@ has set a price. I am sure the more people that drive the bounty up slowly the more interested Bill is becoming :)
-
bill, could you please give us a hint how much you need, cause that indirectly helps the time-schedule.

Woh.. Hang on there. We are not under some kind of time schedule. If you are needing something "tomorrow" then I would suggest that this is not going to work out. The last thing we need to do is pressure someone that is burned out. I would suggest not going here!

Locking topic. Please see http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,2718.0.html for the new thread on this. Thanks
