Open source media player and online video aggregator Miro is taking a cue from the highway service and asking patrons to "adopt" a line of code to help pay the bills much the same way as you can "adopt" a stretch of highway.
According to Miro, Miro is facing a very serious budget challenge this year. the foundations that fund non-profit organizations like Miro's have seen their endowments drop dramatically as the stock market has declined.
Here's how it works The 'source code' is what makes Miro run, there are about 46,258 lines of it; if you can take on just one line of this code, It will help to continue growing Miro and building a better, more open media world.
To make this possible, Miro created the all-new and very cute Miro Adoption Center, where you can adopt a line of code for just $4 a month.
When you adopt, you'll get:
an official adoption page, a cute image of your line of code (watch it grow over the year), badges for your blog or website, and your name will be listed in the 'about' box in every copy of Miro (more than 5 million a year and growing)
For US residents, your donation is a 100% tax-deductible donation to Participatory Culture Foundation, a 501c3 non-profit organization.
At WeboLobby, we always support open source projects and development so we decided to Adopt four lines of codes.
