Hallo qemu developers,

my company, Mercedes-Benz, has a FOSS sponsorship program for which employees can suggest projects. As we are using qemu pretty widely I proposed to sponsor qemu. Unfortunately, our program is only supporting Github sponsors due to organizational restrictions. So I wondered, if there is any possibility that the qemu project adopts the Github sponsors program anytime soon. My colleagues from the sponsorship program told me that our ask already let to some projects adopt Github sponsors, which also led to some other people giving money.

Best regards,

Jakob

Hi Jakob,
Thanks for the generous offer to sponsor QEMU. It's great to hear you
are finding QEMU useful!

I am forwarding the request to Software Freedom Conservancy, which
handles donations and expenses for the QEMU project.

I'll let you know when we have an answer.

Thanks,
Stefan
