   7 <p>The Samba Team has a number of significant expenses so we have decided
   8 to setup a donation system to allow users of Samba to make
   9 contributions to help cover the cost of running samba.org and
  10 developing Samba.</p>

  12 <h3>How to donate</h3>
  13
  14 <p>The preferred method of donating is via PayPal. To make a donation
  15 click on the 'Make a Donation' button below. If you want your donation
  16 to be anonymous then please put the word 'anonymous' somewhere in the
  17 notes with your donation. We will use that keyword to disable
  18 publishing of your name.</p>

  43 <h3>Corporate donations</h3>
  44
  45 <p>If you would like to make a larger corporate donation then we would certainly
  46 like to discuss that. Please send a email to
  47 <a
  48 href="mailto:conservancy@softwarefreedom.org">conservancy@softwarefreedom.org</a>
  49 or talk to any Samba Team member.</p>

  51 <h3>Why do we need money?</h3>
  52
  53 <p>You may be wondering why the Samba Team needs money. The main
  54 expenses that we have are travel expenses for team members to the
  55 major Samba related conferences and expenses for running the main
  56 samba.org site.  We occasionally have other expenses (eg. small pieces
  57 of hardware and books) but that is less common.</p>
  58
  59 <p>A good example of our travel expenses is the CIFS conference in
  60 San Jose. We usually have between ten and fifteen team members
  61 attending each year and while most of them are covered by the company
  62 they work for, we do need to provide international travel and
  63 accomodation for some of them.</p>
