Hi everyone! I'm in a bit of a tough spot, and after paying my rent this week I am going to be flat broke and will struggle to sustain myself for a while, and could really use the help.
Currently, I am spending a lot of time (between my uni exams) volunteering to help improve GNOME in many ways, such as:
- Better hardware enablement, such as (codeberg.org/kramo/cartridges/…) and (codeberg.org/kramo/cartridges/…) to enable controller input in Cartridges, and (gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-c…) to support back/forth hardware buttons, like those seen on some gaming/productivity mice, in GNOME Calendar.
- Improve accessibility in GNOME, with (gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-s…) to improve accessibility of the selection mode in GNOME's screenshot overlay, and (gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-c…) to fix missing tooltips and labels in GNOME Calendar.
- Help with maintenance and add new features to many commonly used GTK and GNOME apps, such as adding a new comparison mode to Upscaler with (gitlab.gnome.org/World/Upscale…) (with help from Skelly), porting GNOME Music to Blueprint with (gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-m…) and (gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-m…), and helping to improve the ecosystem by occasionally streaming my changes on my Youtube account.
These changes take many hours of my free time to research, develop and test, with 0 compensation. If #Linux accessibility, hardware-enablement or having amazing, beautiful Linux and #LinuxMobile apps is important to you, I would strongly urge you to donate or boost this post!
My KoFi is ko-fi.com/zoeyahmed. My current goal is to raise £300, which should cover me and allow me to continue making GNOME and the FOSS ecosystem better and more accessible then ever!
Current Total: £73.37/£300
