[arch-general] Anonymous donation
Hi! Arch Linux has become my favourite pastime and passion and I'd like to donate to the project. I have looked at the options (card payment or PayPal) and haven't found the possibility to hide my real name as I am really not that keen on sharing my name on the public list of donors: https://archlinux.org/donate/ Unfortunately, I am not a James Smith or Caron Lewis, but have a uniquely identifiable combination of first and last name, that means anyone could look me up on Google, because surely there exists no other name like this in the world. This is actually what I tried: I picked some uniquely looking names from the donors page, put them into Google and of course archlinux.org shows up. You may call me fussy, but I don't like the idea of my real name being linked to any of my actual hobbies/interests online. It should be nobody's business to know what my hobbies are (employers, ex-partners, I-am-gonna-say-it-yes-the-government)! I get it that archlinux.org wants to show appreciation by publicly sharing the list of donors, but I do not want it! Please, I beg you, do enable donors to opt out of being on the public list! Thanks! Goldmund
I donate monthly via https://www.spi-inc.org/projects/archlinux/ and my name doesn't show up on that list. I'm using paypal to do so, so I'm pretty sure my real name is in there somewhere. Maybe someone from the arch site can explain how the donationb process works internally and what names show up and which don't. -- Greetings Ricardo Band https:// www.ricardo.band mailto:// email@ricardo.band
