nilware.io wants to pledge up to 4000€/month towards the development of the project and related activities

[skmp]

Hello @reicast/members,

As you might know my contract with NVIDIA went up in flames because of burnout and culture missmatch, and as a side effect there was a gap in the finances of the project as all the responsibilities fell on me.

Now that I've relocated back to Athens (no rent! YAY!) I started up a contracting company, https://nilware.io, and got an offer from VALVE to work for their open source group.

While this means my time will be more limited from now on, it also means I can support the project financially once more. I've restored most of the services that were suspended (builds, some servers and such), and I plan to directly sponsor development (as nilware.io).

Looking at the current financials, nilware.io can pledge uo to 4000€/month towards covering the needs of the project, sponsoring development for libswirl, reicast, nullDC and ReiDBG, and if there are funds left, to help boost the dreamcast homebrew scene.

Any of you sees anything bad or sinister in all this?

Cheers ~

Edit reworded for clarity. I really need to work more on my thoughts before posting.

Can you please remove me from reicast/members? I do not wish to be a part of Reicast any longer.

Sure thing

@ZirconiumX done. Thank you for your contributions, and I wish you best of luck to your future endeavors.

@flyinghead while we're at it, do you want to be removed as well? Technically you are still a member of both reicast and flycast. I don't see anything bad with that myself, but I don't know how you feel.

Cheers ~

Sounds cool! Let's discuss also the process of finding the best and most suitable guys for the needs of these projects.

@johndel add that to #1821 please

@flyinghead Don't give up. We should help each others. That's what friends are for.

[flyinghead]

Adios

[skmp]

@flyinghead alright. I see you removed yourself.

Thanks for your contributions.

Let's see who can build the best emulator then, the original author, or the random guy that found everything almost ready and forked ;)
