Sorry to reply so late, but I was already on my way to the Chemnitz
Linux days when you sent your message and just got back.

First of all I'd like to say thanks to all the people who helped to
raise the money within just a few hours. This shows how amazing the Xfce
community is.

On the other hand I think it's not really fair that you devs also
donated/needed to donate money, because you already dedicate a lot of
time to Xfce. So I asked Max Spevack, our Fedora community manager, if
we could help.

On behalf of the Fedora Project I hereby announce that we are going to
match the summ that has currently been raised. This means that we are
donating another 210 EUR. Take it as a "Thank you" for all the hard work
you've put into your latest release.

Speaking of Xfce 4.6: I'd like to invite both the Xfce devs and
especially the Fedora users out here to our Fedora Test Day on Thursday,
March 19, where we are testing the new release that will be shipped in
Fedora 11 in May. Please join #fedora-qa at freenode.net.
