Add to KDE Store

Open WingofaGriffin opened this issue 5 years ago • 3 comments

To make this theme more readily accessible and if you want to make some payout off of it, I would suggest uploading it to the OpenDesktop KDE store for direct download here https://store.kde.org/browse/cat/462/

It might also be a smart idea for the other terminals if any on the platform.

Hi @WingofaGriffin, thanks for your contribution 👍 I'll definitely check out their requirement definitions that must be fulfilled in order to publish to their store (which are hopefully not as bad as Apple Store...). Also regarding the payout I currently setup an Open Collective page to simplify the steps someone needs to go to donate and support my work on open source projects. The site has the advantage that it is totally transparent and itself a large open source project. It allows to show which costs exactly need to be covered and also how much personal profit I get out of this work my efforts and spend free time. If there are also other ways that might help to support Nord I'm open to it as long as it doesn't mean users might need to expose sensitive data or must create accounts for commercial payment services. Other good examples might be PayPal (no costs for user and free accounts) as well as crypto currencies.

From the FAQ

"FAQ

Contributors to any part of the Opendesktop platform get a compensation each time their contribution/product is downloaded. Download-clicks are converted into monetary value based on the following terms:

Payout = Number of Downloads * Pling-Factor * 1 $-cent,

where each product category is valued by a so-called “Pling-Factor”.

You can see the value of each category in the list below.

Based on the actual amount of content and downloads, we may adjust these values at any time, even during a month.

Payouts are voluntary and we reserve the right to cancel any single product or payout or all payouts without any reason.

Any product to be paid out requires a libre license. Certain products also require a link to the online source repository (see list below), like e.g. cgit.kde.org or github. This is different from just providing the source-code, but to provide an easy setup for collaboration and transparent changes.

In order to receive any payouts, you need to provide a valid PayPal option under your OpenDesktop account settings.

We hope this form of compensation values those who put time and effort into creating free and open source software & content and leads to an ever increase of quality and sustainability."

It seems like it is a completely free way to just give back some of the traffic revenue to the project and is free to upload as long as it is FOSS and it is connected to paypal.

May I suggest just adding it to Konsole directly so it's free for all and if they appreciate it they can donate via Open Collective https://invent.kde.org/utilities/konsole/-/tree/master/data/color-schemes
