Idea for post Halloween donors: "Sponsor a KDE Gear App" - donate €100 or more and you can get your name and link on the "About" page of a KDE Gear app (from a list of apps whose maintainers agree). Limit is 14 of Nov (string freeze) so there is a time pressure element too.

One thing to also consider and plan are target groups. I imagine that usually our campaigns reach mostly the KDE community. Here is where the KDE Goals can be handy in helping us escape our bubble to try to reach other possible contributors:

I think the goal is a hard one given last year's enormous success.

Sorry for some reason I didn't get an email for your previous comment...
I think for now we leave them out and I'll think some more about how we can get them in later.

Problem solved going forward I guess, but what do we do about those who are already members?

Argh. I thought that was only available in Donorbox Pro. And of course we hadn't enabled it...
Thanks for digging this up. I've now enabled it for the membership campaign.

Hmm, I thought Donorbox had functionality to record that - https://donorbox.org/nonprofit-blog/ask-donor-subscribe-mailing-list?

Are we able to get a CSV of people and their email addresses out of Donorbox that have ticked a box to receive quarterly updates?

What's the best page to link to instead? https://kde.org/community/donations/ probably

Do we have anyone who can help with this? We need to send the next quarterly email to the members soon and need some infrastructure to make this happen.

Following some feedback from users (and one YouTuber) who have had difficulty finding ways to customise their donations, I suggest some small changes that can solve these problems:

Maybe the link that says "Show your love..." here should not point here anymore, so as to avoid people from accidentally signing up for a system that will be soon de-commissioned, right?
