Monero-Accepting FOSS Project of the Week
The VideoLAN project is led by and composed of a team of volunteers who believe in the power of open source to rock the multimedia world. VideoLAN produces free software for multimedia, such as VLC media player, VideoLAN Movie Creator and other, released under the General Public License. The project accepts Monero for donations.
Check back next week for another organization or project that accepts Monero for their goods and services.
Volunteer Opportunities
If you want to get involved in making Monero better, but aren’t sure how, check out the volunteer opportunities below.
Anyone with moderate technical ability is encouraged to try to build and run Monero nightlies. Do not trust it with your Monero, but feel free to open an Issue on Github as problems arise. Instructions to build on your OS of choice can be found on GitHub.
