New Colors! + +We have added some great new T-Shirt colors. + +After a poll of our community, Midnight Navy and Cardinal we chosen as our new T-Shirt colors. They are available now at our [Redox Shop](https://redox-os.creator-spring.com/). Approximately $14 per T-Shirt goes towards Redox development (a little less for European orders).

More donation options are on our [Donate](/donate) page. + +## Funding for Individuals + +For those of you who are actively contributing to Redox or other FOSS projects, there are some great programs to help you get paid. + +[Google Summer of Code](https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/programs/2024) helps fund developers directly. We plan to apply as a Mentor Organization this year. We will provide more information if we are accepted as a Mentor. + +[Github Accelerator](https://accelerator.github.com/) provides a large grant to selected developers who are looking to make FOSS their career. They will be opening up for applications in the near future. + +## Other Opportunities + +Redox is looking into funding from many sources, some large and some small. +The process is slow, but the landscape for FOSS funding is better than ever, with more awareness that interesting and useful FOSS projects need financial support. + +There are some "Sovereign" Funds, which are government-funded organizations whose sole purpose is to donate to FOSS projects. +They mostly give to software that is in active use, but there are a few "under development" projects that are receiving funds. + +There are also some foundations funded by corporate donors, and they are very active in supporting FOSS and helping make projects successful. + +We will be pursuing donations from both of these types of organizations over the coming months. +At the same time, we will be looking for corporate partners who are interested in Redox and have interests that mesh well with our goals. + +We will keep you up to date if we have any big news to share. \ No newline at end of file diff --git a/static/img/tshirts/cardinal.png b/static/img/tshirts/cardinal.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..4c2011d283da281823ce56c39529ca81226aca43 Binary files /dev/null and b/static/img/tshirts/cardinal.png differ diff --git a/static/img/tshirts/dark-chocolate.png b/static/img/tshirts/dark-chocolate.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..1aee987173c0992436c2e069fefa0bce3cfdc268 Binary files /dev/null and b/static/img/tshirts/dark-chocolate.png differ diff --git a/static/img/tshirts/midnight-navy.png b/static/img/tshirts/midnight-navy.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..ba87646430153975e6cfa740935df26400d92b70 Binary files /dev/null and b/static/img/tshirts/midnight-navy.png differ diff --git a/static/img/tshirts/tahiti-blue.png b/static/img/tshirts/tahiti-blue.png new file mode 100644 index 0000000000000000000000000000000000000000..b3591ffe4c49595f4d4669b33797676dda9aa80a Binary files /dev/null and b/static/img/tshirts/tahiti-blue.png differ
