# NixOS Foundation in-person Donation

The NixOS Foundation may be represented at in-person events with a donation booth, sometimes offering perks in return. This document describes everything to know about that.

## For donors

### How do I donate to the NixOS Foundation?

1. Find a NixOS Foundation representative at the respective event:
- (event name): @(GitHub handle) (portrait)
2. Let them know the amount in EUR you'd like to donate, and they'll be able to accept a contact-less payment either through a phone or a SumUp device.
3. You will be offered to get a digital receipt as confirmation, you can check that the address matches the one in the [impressum](./impressum.md).

### Can I donate cash?

We do not accept cash directly, but you may be able to find somebody willing to accept your cash and make the donation for you instead.

### What do I get in return?

Other than a receipt and our gratitude, we sometimes also have a limited number of donation perks that are given out for donations of a certain amount, such as necklaces, pins, key-chains, shirts or others.
The representative will inform you of that.

## For representatives

### How to become a representative

You can become a foundation representative yourself if you're a well-known and trusted community member. To nominate yourself:
- Make a PR against this repo to add yourself to the above list of representatives.
Make sure to include a picture so people know who to look for!
- If approved, a foundation board member will reach out to you for the next steps.

### How to present yourself at events

At your booth, make sure to have the following:
- A NixOS logo from the branding page: https://nixos.org/branding/
- A link to this page (best as a QR code)
<!-- TODO: Set up a link shortening service for nixos.org -->
- The handles of the representatives at the event

For your booth, the foundation provides you with the following:
- A table display with the NixOS logo and a link to this page (best as a QR code)
<!-- TODO: Set up a link shortening service for nixos.org -->
- A way to add the handles of the representatives at the event onto/into the table display (empty field to fill, empty sticker to write on or similar)
- A sum up device (if required, see section below)
These will be shipped by the foundation to an address of your choice.

Would be cool if the foundation could take care of this part.
For example with a table display like this or this.


### How to accept donations

1. Open the SumUp App and log in with your account
2. Go to Checkout and click on the 4-panel icon (aka items) on the top right (restart if you can't see it)
3. Select the donation items to get to the desired amount, then follow the dialogue to accept the payment
- If the payment gets rejected, inform the donor that the country of payment is the Netherlands, their card might be declining it because of that
4. Ask the if they'd like the digital receipt and follow the steps for that
5. If the donor is eligible for a perk and there are still ones available, offer them one

## For the foundation board

### How to onboard somebody as a representative

- Ideally set up a 30min call with the representative to go through the next points
- Go to https://me.sumup.com/nl-nl/members/invite and create a new "Kassamedewerker" (cashier) account with the representatives email
- Check if the representative has a phone capable of accepting contact-less payments
- Otherwise order a SumUp device for them
- Go through the representative sections and answer any questions
